So yesterday we hooked you up. 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,840 You know, Jay, jump in on this real fast here. 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,080 So yesterday we hooked you guys up with we have a great 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,520 collaboration, which is awesome with EA Sports. 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,000 We gave away 25 free codes for Madden 26 yesterday. 20 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,920 We're doing the same thing, but only college football today. 21 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,080 So 25 free codes. J Rod, tell them how they could 22 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,960 win, buddy, How can you win the prize? 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,080 So yeah. So today what we're going to do 24 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,040 to make it a little easier, I've still got to get in contact with 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,120 a couple of you. I see someone in the chat who I 26 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,240 still got to get in contact with, so I'll explain this and 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,680 then you can do that as well. Jerry Nelson. 28 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,960 So what we're going to do is today, similar to yesterday, 29 00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:28,440 what you're going to do is drop your console info, your Xbox, 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,920 PS-5 also available for switching PC as well. 31 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,440 So if you've got those, you could say that as well and then 32 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,440 leave your e-mail. So leave your e-mail instead of 33 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,840 your social handle. It'll just be easier for me to 34 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,360 get in contact with. So anyone who also won the 35 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,520 Madden yesterday, drop your e-mail as well. 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,640 And then for today as well, the first 25 people to drop their 37 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,200 console and their e-mail will get a code for College Football 38 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,560 26. I love it. 39 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,680 Drop your console e-mail. OK, and then J Rod's going to 40 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,640 take care of that. That's awesome. 41 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,280 What are we 20 days away for the draft? 42 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,720 And I'm starting to feel more and more. 43 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,440 I would do a lot of Yankees here today, but I tweeted this before 44 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,080 and I I was saying this on The Jets collective during the week 45 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,680 and I even thought about this really going back a couple of 46 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,600 weeks now. Listen, obviously it's going to 47 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,480 take somebody to want to trade with The Jets. 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,080 The more I think about this and it looks like they're going to 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,160 take Reese. That's pretty much every mock 50 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,240 has The Jets taking Reese from Ohio State, which I'm, I'm not, 51 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,080 I'm not against that, but he's not a clear cut decision for me. 52 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,560 So, you know, I, I'm really, I, I hope and I think that they 53 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,160 will be because that's been Mooji's MO so far. 54 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,160 I hope The Jets are open for business. 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,600 I, I really do. I would love to see them trade 56 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,960 out of #2 you know, I don't know who would jump up, whether it's 57 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,760 for Jeremiah love, whether it's for Reese, if somebody loves him 58 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,480 more than The Jets. But I, I'm just getting really 59 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,760 excited for the draft. And obviously the relationship 60 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,760 with EA Sports will do some stuff getting into the draft, 61 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,560 but I I'm starting to feel the draft more and more, which is 62 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,280 phenomenal, by the way. Today's show brought to you by 63 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,400 Sullivan for Pain, of course, one of New York's best personal 64 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,080 injury law firms, according to U.S. news and World Report. 65 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,120 You can find sullivanonline@triallaw1.com. 66 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,160 That's trial law1.com and our newest sponsor. 67 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,160 We brought them into the Unleashed family a couple of 68 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,600 days ago.

Now I get before I get to the 73 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,640 Yankees opening day. I love opening, you know? 74 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,000 Yeah, it's funny. I used to love when the Yanks 75 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,040 and even the Mets, because my dad's a Mets fan, as many of you 76 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,400 know, I love when the local teams open up at home. 77 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960 I've got to shifted on that. I kind of like getting a few 78 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,320 games under your belt, especially when you come back 79 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720 and you've won five out of six games like the Yankees have. 80 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,280 And now you've got the celebration today in the Bronx. 81 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,320 Weather's going to be fine. A little little misty this 82 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,840 morning, but it's good. Sun's going to pop out before I 83 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,400 get into it. Jay, how was the Passover meal? 84 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,880 Good time with your friends. Yeah, no good time. 85 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,640 I mean Wednesday was with the friends, yesterday was with the 86 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,080 fam so went up to CT for a couple hours, just got a lunch 87 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,240 it was chill. Got we have a little wine. 88 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,400 Are we doing a little what? What are we eating and what are 89 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,040 we drinking? All right, so Wednesday we 90 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,240 probably, we had like 2 bottles of wine. 91 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,839 I think, you know, perfect, you know, kept it, kept it casual. 92 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,120 But good night. My friend's girlfriend made like 93 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,640 brisket. She made like some meatballs. 94 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,840 It's like cranberry rice. I don't like cranberries. 95 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:33,640 That doesn't say OK, OK, I'm not a even at Thanksgiving, I can't 96 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,280 stand cranberry. Really never touch it. 97 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,960 No, not even if. They're like the It's just like 98 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,320 a little one in rice. Just a. 99 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,600 Little now I'm picking it out or I'm not having. 100 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,760 It so had that and then yesterday it was just like, it 101 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,600 was just like a lunch, like it was just a lunch at a 102 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,000 restaurant. Like I had what I had. 103 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,920 OK. All right. 104 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,840 Chicken pasta so. So one of my you mentioned 105 00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:56,360 brisket. It just triggered something one 106 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,520 of my best friends Dan, right? So his, his mom is not Jewish. 107 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,480 His dad is Jewish, right? And and the mom, you know, 108 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,600 really and his his dad's no longer with us. 109 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,760 This was the gentleman Shelly who was in the fantasy Baseball 110 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,000 League that we did for He was there before I joined. 111 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,800 He was in there for 20 something years and then he passed away. 112 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,280 Great guy. But he used to Dan we we lived 113 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:20,200 together when we were off campus and he was a baseball player too 114 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,360 up at Marist and he would come back because he lived in 115 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,160 Rockland County, which really isn't that far from Marist. 116 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,000 Maybe an hour. So a lot of Sundays during the 117 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,320 fall, like when we didn't really have the game ready thing, I, I 118 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,280 would go to go to his parents house and his mom would make 119 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,440 meals. And then a lot of times, you 120 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,080 know, she would just, you know, make stuff to bring back and put 121 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,560 it in the apartment. And she always made brisket. 122 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,520 And like my mom never really made brisket growing up. 123 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,480 It, it was so good. And it, it's so bad because I 124 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,200 would devour it, man, He'd like, wait, dude, where is it's in my 125 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,640 stomach. That's where it is, buddy. 126 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,520 And help with your mom's a good cook. 127 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,920 So a little brisket is good for the soul. 128 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,680 Outstanding. So again, a happy Passover and 129 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,360 happy Easter. Get ready for an awesome 130 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,680 weekend. Can't wait. 131 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,240 It's going to be great. Now talk about the Yankee 132 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,280 opener, right? And you know, I don't I don't 133 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,080 really. Yes, if you would have won every 134 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,440 game, that's literally a a way that you could have started the 135 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,480 season better. But when you think about 136 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000 everything that the Yankees have done so far, I know it's a small 137 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,560 sample and I'm sure there's going to be some overreactions. 138 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,560 I will stand by what I've said going into the season. 139 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320 I was saying this over the winter where I really think and 140 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,680 I, I thought that and I certainly I'm, I'm only more 141 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,600 emboldened now based on the small sample of evidence and 142 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,480 especially the Cam Schlittler looks to be the real deal. 143 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,560 Like I really thought that he would be in the second year. 144 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,280 I think the Yankees rotation at the end of the year is going to 145 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,200 be the best in baseball. And I think that that's what he 146 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,120 what's going to give the Yankees a real chance, like a real 147 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,640 chance. Not like, well, they're the 148 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,920 Yankees and they've always got a chance to win the World Series 149 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,640 because that's what we're conditioned to think. 150 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,280 This Yankee team looks a little different. 151 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,880 I know, I know it's early. My God, it's almost ridiculous 152 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,800 saying that, but you can't start the year better unless you were 153 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,720 six and O think about the record. 154 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,360 Phenomenal. All right, five and one great. 155 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,880 But now think about the optics, right? 156 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,120 They have allowed, and we've talked about this last couple of 157 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,080 days, they've allowed six runs, six runs, six runs in six games 158 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,560 here. Now, think about this. 159 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,040 The Red Sox, who have a really good staff, the Red Sox have 160 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,120 given up 32. Toronto's giving up 28. 161 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,520 Just as a point of comparison for a bad team, the Chicago 162 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,800 White Sox already have given up 52 runs, J Rod 52, and the 163 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,000 Yankees give it, give it up a measly 6. 164 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,280 So, yeah, you look at some, I mean, it's crazy. 165 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,880 You look at some of the numbers that I don't want to just 166 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,600 bombard you with numbers, but, you know, plus 18 run 167 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,720 differential. All right, Everybody knows that. 168 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,200 Look at the website, look at the stats. 169 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,200 Anybody can regurgitate that. But what I love about the 170 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,240 Yankees start here. A couple of things. 171 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,960 Number one, obviously the pitching, but they've already 172 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,320 and this is a small thing, but it adds up Over the course of 173 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,760 162 Yanks have already knocked off a West Coast trip off the 174 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,840 schedule. So you know, I don't love being 175 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,760 sent out West to start this that like that. 176 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,240 I don't I don't mind opening up on the road, but give me a 177 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,320 little Camden Yards, give me a little Toronto. 178 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,480 I don't know, give me even something in the Midwest. 179 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,920 Didn't love going out West, but the Yankees did. 180 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,080 They won five out of six games. So that is 1 fewer West Coast 181 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,520 trip as you get into the the doldrums of the monotony of an 182 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,920 incredibly lengthy 6 month baseball season. 183 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,040 That's one fewer trip the Yanks don't have to make and all the 184 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,440 other teams in their division, who I believe are, I think it's 185 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,120 the best division in baseball really do. 186 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,560 There's a couple others that are close. 187 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,280 I think the AL ES is going to be the best. 188 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,120 And that's something the Yankees don't have to worry about as 189 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,000 much as the other teams. All right, small little win 190 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,559 there. But here's the other thing too, 191 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,840 like the Yanks are winning and the Yankees look crisp catching 192 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,640 the ball. They look crisp on the bases. 193 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,280 They're still going to figure out the roles in the bullpen. 194 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,679 I think that's going to be fluid and I think it's going to get 195 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,640 better as the year goes on with some of these young 196 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,520 flamethrowers. But they're winning. 197 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,760 Aaron Judges hitting $1.25 and Jazz has hit the Buck 74. 198 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,040 So I think about this right as the Yankees are introduced, you 199 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,360 know, in a gloomy, although again, the sun's going to come 200 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,160 out at some point, I think by first pitch. 201 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,680 And I love like it's whether it's the playoffs, whether it's 202 00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:09,800 opening day, whether it's the home opener, I just love, I love 203 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,640 the introductions. Like I, I don't care. 204 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,000 I could be 95 years old, God willing, and I will sit there 205 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,760 and I will smile as I see these players introduced. 206 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,800 I've always loved it. And I think part of the reason 207 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,280 is like, you know, now with with youth sports, youth baseball, 208 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,320 like a lot of the kids get introduced for everything right 209 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,760 there. It's almost over the top. 210 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240 I don't think I ever had that. I don't know that. 211 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,600 And now that I think about, I don't know that I was ever 212 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,160 introduced as a starting line up. 213 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,080 The only time we did it in college, never once did it in 214 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,400 high school and certainly never did it playing. 215 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,640 We didn't have club ball that we had travel baseball. 216 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,200 No. So I I love it. 217 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,360 I love seeing the players trot out and I remember when I was a 218 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,400 kid, I'd be in the basement and I would try to emulate these 219 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,840 guys coming out of the top step like Matty Lee and Ricky, you 220 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920 know, and tapping up their boys. It's just, you know, it's, it's 221 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,600 a part of me that's never going to age. 222 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,400 It's a part of me that's never going to give it up. 223 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,160 I just, I, it just makes me feel good. 224 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,760 So I can't wait to watch this today. 225 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,760 I can't wait to jump into the coverage. 226 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,040 And, you know, listen, you look at some of the good teams that 227 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,960 are off, off the rough starts, like the Red Sox pitching has 228 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,000 not been very good. I do still think that the Mets 229 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,320 will be good, maybe not as good as I thought, but I the Mets are 230 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,720 going to figure stuff out. I don't think it's time to sound 231 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,520 the alarm there. Bichette's going to hit other 232 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,240 guys with Lindor's eventually going to hit. 233 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,640 I don't like the optics of their start just in terms of their 234 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,480 energy and and being connected and playing fundamental ball. 235 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,280 You know, whether it's getting thrown and thrown out of the 236 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,160 plate. We talked about this against the 237 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,520 Pirates on a double in the gap by Soto Orland or not knowing 238 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,920 how many outs there were Orland or getting picked off for. 239 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,960 I mean, it's been a rough week for Francisco Lindor. 240 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,440 Now the story's about, and I actually, I do believe this 241 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,200 about how, you know, he was, I mean, he was the main impetus. 242 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,840 But he, I I believe that on some level, I, I can't quantify it, 243 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,720 but I do, I do believe that there's some culpability for 244 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,000 Lindor greasing the skids for some of his former teammates. 245 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,200 I believe that. Now, do I believe that it's 246 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,720 politically motivated? Maybe a little bit. 247 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,280 Yeah. I'm not afraid to say it. 248 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,960 Maybe a little bit. And, you know, it's funny. 249 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,000 It's about the Yankees, but I'm just kind of painting a bigger 250 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,920 picture here. The you know, that was five 251 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,320 years for Lindor. You know, he's he's had some 252 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,120 good years for really good years, second in the MVP couple 253 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,200 years ago, but he's also had some very frustrating and very 254 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,000 mystifying moments, right. And if you believe now again, I 255 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,680 to what extent do I believe it? I believe it more than not. 256 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,600 But if you really believe that Lindor was that again, the 257 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,920 impetus behind whether it's a Pete and a MO or Pete or a MO or 258 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,920 whatever being shipped out for, you know, political reasons, 259 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,440 reasons or just a disconnect in the clubhouse, whatever it might 260 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,840 be. Like if the Mets don't wake up 261 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,000 and if Lindor doesn't start playing Chris baseball, not only 262 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,720 he's got a hit, but he's just got to look more engaged. 263 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,880 I'll tell you what, man, I I think that Francisco Lindor, if 264 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,720 things don't change, which I think that they will. 265 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,240 But if they don't, I link Lynn Lynn, I think that the met fans 266 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,160 who still and I don't think that there's an overwhelming 267 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,760 percentage of you, but those of you who still look at him as 268 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,640 like the guy or like the met who could walk on water, I think 269 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,840 that that's going to dissipate if it hasn't already. 270 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,520 I saw I this this to me, this to me is going to be the defining 271 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,480 year for Lindor because and and and less let much lesser extend 272 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,000 Soto now that you got to make the playoffs. 273 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,680 If you Soto after last year, Soto's going to beast. 274 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:42,800 The numbers will be there, but like if the Mets have an 275 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,240 underachieving season and they look sloppy and there's not a 276 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,760 lot of chemistry or whatever, even if it's a bit of a 277 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,040 manufactured story, it's going to be a massive problem for 278 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,120 Lindor because he's going to be the target because there's 279 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,600 really no other target at this point. 280 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,280 What are you getting Simeon, who's in his mid whatever, 36 281 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,360 years old who hasn't hit for two years? 282 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,400 No, you're going to get on. Brett Beatty. 283 00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:08,000 I mean, no, are are you going to get on bench? 284 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,120 You know, rookie, I, I don't think so. 285 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,160 You're not going to get on Peralta because he's going to be 286 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,080 good. You're not going to get on 287 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,480 McClain because he's going to be good. 288 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,480 I mean, you know, to me, the, the, the possible targets, and 289 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,320 I'm not even trying to make this more than it is, but it's so 290 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,080 it's a warning flare. Yeah. 291 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,280 It's not the NFL. It's not the first month of the 292 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,880 season when you're one in three and the skies falling and the, 293 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,640 and the, the earth is caving in and it's just vitriol and venom 294 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,120 and just negative energy and it's loud and it's it's 295 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,960 unavoidable. It's baseball. 296 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,400 It's one week of the season, but based on last year and based on 297 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,960 the narratives and the things that I talked about, Mendoza not 298 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,280 having a good year, this really is the worst possible way for 299 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,040 the Mets to start the season. So the Mets do need to get 300 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,960 going. I think that they will and we'll 301 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,960 see. Now, the Yankees, right? 302 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,600 One thing that I've said, I've said this, but I'm not alone in 303 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,920 saying this, but I said this for a while and it's bothered me 304 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,680 about the Yankees. It's it's continuously 305 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:09,240 frustrated me. It hasn't really confused me 306 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800 because I have a strong opinion. It's not like I don't know what 307 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,800 to think. I've got a strong opinion on it. 308 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,040 I think that the Yankees so far, they have failed Aaron Judge. 309 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,440 They have failed them because you've got the best player this 310 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,760 century, right? And I know all time he's a 311 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,920 pitcher, but the best hitter this century. 312 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,200 I think for me, you know, vintage, peak Mattingly, it's 313 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,240 close because he was a great defender as well. 314 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,560 I think he's the most talented Yankee I've ever seen. 315 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,360 And you know, championship or not, and I'm on the record with 316 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,040 this just for me, and some of you disagree with this and I get 317 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,200 it. It's not going to shape my 318 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,000 ultimate opinion of Aaron Judge, all right, as a New York Yankee, 319 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,480 as a baseball player. Now, Mattingly's the only all 320 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,360 time Yankee that doesn't have a championship. 321 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,040 We know that, right? All the other luminaries, Ruth 322 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,240 and Gehrig and DiMaggio and Berra and Whitey Ford and Reggie 323 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,600 and Munson and Nettles and a Rod and Jeets and MO and Pettit and 324 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,320 all those guys, right, Posada, you got to have the championship 325 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,320 on the resume to almost punctuate and and it's it's 326 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,320 almost unfair, but it is what it is to punctuate and in some ways 327 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,480 to validate your Yankee career. Honestly, I think it's a crock 328 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,360 of shit because I think that there's just too many variables 329 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,400 that you can't control. And I went through this the 330 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,040 other day and many of you found this interesting based on the 331 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,800 comments, like Jalen Brunson. You know, I don't like the way 332 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,320 the Knicks look. I don't think the Knicks going 333 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,640 to win the championship this year. 334 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,240 I don't think they're very connected. 335 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920 I don't like their chemistry and I don't even like the way their 336 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,440 talent compliments one each other one another. 337 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,600 Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they figure it out with 338 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,440 five games to go, whatever it is in the regular season, they get 339 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,760 healthy, they win and they shut me up. 340 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,080 And I hope that that's the case, right? 341 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,800 But think about and the guy who's going to really feel the 342 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,640 Heat most would be Cat, because he's an easy target. 343 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,880 But really, at the end of the day, the Bucks got to stop with 344 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,520 the best player, right? That's Jalen Brunson, 345 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,080 undeniably. If the Knicks come up short, you 346 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,920 know, think about all the times, whether it's a usage rate on 347 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,880 offense or just how many times you play and he's not a good 348 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,560 defender, but just how many times you play defense over the 349 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,680 course of an NBA, How many possessions do you have? 350 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,600 How many possessions does the opponent have? 351 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,040 All the chances. I mean, it's basic if you think 352 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:23,440 about it, 20 plus shots a game, you know, 506070 defensive sets. 353 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,440 Even if you're not, you know, on the ball, weak side, whatever it 354 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,080 might be, getting a steal, getting a rebound and you're 355 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,360 boxing out, you can impact the basketball game every single 356 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,240 possession. You could shoot one for 13 and 357 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,160 your plus minus could still be decent if when you're on the 358 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,640 floor, other guys are making shots and you're handling 359 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,560 business on defense. Whereas with somebody like Aaron 360 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,080 Judge, and I know he's had some moments, last year changed a 361 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,480 lot, but the World Series was a mess for him and he's had other 362 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,160 moments where he hasn't come up very big. 363 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,880 But think about how many times Aaron Judge gets the impact, you 364 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,960 know, A7 game series, 28 at bats, you know, couple of walks, 365 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,079 so maybe 3233 plate appearances, couple of pop ups a game, maybe 366 00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:06,800 a base of a double down the line. 367 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,599 Maybe you have a chance to throw somebody out at second or third 368 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,200 or at home on the bases. But it's fairly minimal just in 369 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,640 terms of volume compared to the other sports, right? 370 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,800 So I say that because it does look a little different this 371 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,839 year. It does feel a little different 372 00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,800 in the smallest possible sample. Understood. 373 00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,560 But they owe him. And just because they look good 374 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,400 now and just because when Cole comes back and Rodon comes back 375 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,480 and even Schmidt comes back and these flame thrown arms carve 376 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,240 out more of a roll in the back of the bullpen before Bednar, 377 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,880 The Yankees really I, I, I including the Dodgers, like not 378 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,400 just in the American League. The Yankees have a chance, 379 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,680 chance to be the best team in baseball. 380 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,000 Now, I don't know if they'll get there. 381 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,840 And the way the bottom third of the order is right now, I don't 382 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,080 think they'll be the best team in baseball. 383 00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,920 I think they might be the best to me in the American League. 384 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,960 And I bring up what they owe Judge because time's ticking. 385 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,680 I mean, he's not 27 or 28. He came up late, played in 386 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,520 college. We know that. 387 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,200 So what is HE333434? I think Aaron Judges. 388 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,840 How many more years do we have of absolute? 389 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,880 I know he's not hitting now. Absolute peak vintage error 390 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,120 judge. You hope it's 3 or 4. 391 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,080 You know, I don't know how he's going to age. 392 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,480 He's a fluid athlete. It's not like he's stiff and 393 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,960 slow, but he is a big man and there's not a lot of big 394 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,000 players. Winfield 66 Dave Parker, 6566 395 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,240 You know, Richie Sexton was 6-7, but not, you know, not in Aaron 396 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,920 Judge's category. So I don't really know how he's 397 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,040 gonna age. I don't know if he's gonna 398 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,480 remain A+ defender in right field, you know, for a couple 399 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,520 years. I don't know if he moves to 400 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,120 exclusively ADH in a couple years or maybe they try to put 401 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,520 him at first base at some point. I don't know those answers. 402 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,840 What I do know is you've got about certainly have a finite 403 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,520 window with all athletes. You've got about two years like 404 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,520 of I at this year, next year, and so basically 3 and then the 405 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,240 year after that. And then to me, all bets are 406 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,200 off. And you got to hope he stays 407 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,880 healthy during these peak years. So they owe him. 408 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520 They owe him, right? And I want to present you with 409 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,960 this, as you know, the red, white and blue bunting and the 410 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,600 starting line of the entire rosters introduced in that place 411 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,800 going to be popping today. I saw my guy Keith, and I've got 412 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,000 to go. I'm going to go to, I'm going to 413 00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:29,320 take him up on an invitation. Did you see Mcpherson's tweet 414 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,680 this morning? I mean, first of all, all day 415 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,360 yesterday he was tweeting he couldn't wait for the game. 416 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:35,520 I think he had a picture. I I just saw his post on 417 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,920 Instagram like an hour. Ago the bodega. 418 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,880 Yeah, Yeah, I think so. I don't know the name of the 419 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,240 bodega, but there's, it's right by the stadium. 420 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,960 And that's where he goes and he pregames and they've got like 421 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,040 the bodega enters to a little courtyard, right? 422 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,800 Old school. We're talking old. 423 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,080 Yeah, old school Bronx and they go every game. 424 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,640 The creature is a bunch of his buddies. 425 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,120 He's become friendly with everybody. 426 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040 They go like 100 and 5200 deep. Like they're basically 427 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,720 tailgating for every home game. So my guy Keith is absolutely 428 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,680 fired up. The whole, the whole city. 429 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,440 I, I can feel it. I I really could, even though 430 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,720 it's early, I feel like the last couple of years, outside of the 431 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,640 year when the Yankees got Soto, which was very recent, there's 432 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,520 always been this reticence, understandably so, because their 433 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,760 rosters haven't been very good. Release championship caliber 434 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,360 championship worthy. I feel like, and and maybe I'm 435 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:25,440 wrong. So you got to tell me. 436 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,800 You got to check me in the comments there. 437 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,440 I feel like there's a different level of belief and certainly a 438 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,200 even a deeper level of hope. But I mean, there's almost 439 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,800 always hope. You always hope something good 440 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,640 happens. I feel like it's a little 441 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,120 different this year. Now, the only way it won't truly 442 00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:45,480 be different really. Number one, if the pitching 443 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,600 doesn't become what I think it's going to become, and I've got 444 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,040 great confidence it will. So I'm not worried about that. 445 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,480 The one thing that I'm really worried about the Yankees is 446 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,440 their bottom third of the order. I can't stand it. 447 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,560 I cannot stand 789. So right now you're rolling out 448 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,080 Caballero. You're, you know, you're rolling 449 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,320 out Wells. I, I did a segment on McMahon 450 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,360 the other day. I mean, Ryan McMahon, he's just, 451 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:06,640 he's just never going to hit man. 452 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,320 Now, if he was an average fielder, I'd be screaming, cut 453 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,320 them, get rid of them, trade them, eat the money, which they 454 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,320 probably wouldn't because they very rarely do that. 455 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,400 But he is an elite third baseman. 456 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,480 And defensively, you know, some of the stats, because I said it 457 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:26,320 said it the other day, I think the average ground ball rate is 458 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,080 14.2 something like that throughout baseball. 459 00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:32,120 And like Max Freed is a lefty in that you know that that inward 460 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:34,760 action on the righty hitters where they just bag it into the 461 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,920 ground because it's cutting it on their hands or cutting it on 462 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,160 their ankles, that's going to third base a lot. 463 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,640 And you need a guy who can pick it. 464 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,240 Like you can't have some sloppy, you know, power hitting, you 465 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,840 know, mess of a third base. But defensively, because that 466 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,800 would be an issue downstream in big games, in clutch moments, 467 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,320 high leverage spots. I know he's a great defender. 468 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,120 He's never going to hit. I can live with that if he's 469 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:00,760 truly your 9 hitter. If I see a little growth from 470 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,640 Austin Wells, which I'm not expecting, I think he's going to 471 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,280 be a 25 home run guy, which 225 to 30. 472 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,000 Now, Ben Rice is different, but Austin Wells just seems to be 473 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,720 already kind of who he is. And then you get to the seven 474 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,360 spot, you know, usually it's going to be Caballero or Volpe. 475 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,440 And Caballero is a backup and Volpe at this point is a below 476 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,680 average Major League hitter. So Can you imagine? 477 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,360 I think really I think there's two ways. 478 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,840 Feeling all the good vibes about the Yankees start and the home 479 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,920 opener and the pitching winning without Judge, even though he's 480 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,240 got two home runs, really not doing anything. 481 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,280 Like, to me, there are two ways. And it's going to take 482 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,360 aggressiveness and it's going to take AL's willingness to, you 483 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,280 know, cut big checks, which I think he will, I think, and 484 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,080 Cashman's ability to to be proactive early this season. 485 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,360 I don't mean now, but I don't mean right at the deadline. 486 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,760 I'm talking about a month before if the Yankees go out and find 487 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,440 themselves a true lead off hitter, Not many out there, but 488 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,000 a true lead off hitter, Guy who's on base, you know, 3536, 489 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,920 thirty, 7% of the time, good walk rate, good contact rate, 490 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,800 good wheels, doesn't have to even be a 280 hitter, just a 491 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,000 true lead off hitter. If they could get that or if 492 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,040 they could get a third baseman who could catch it but also hit 493 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,400 much better than McMahon. And that part's not tough, 494 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,240 right? To me, the Yankees were a World 495 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,640 Series champion. I honestly believe that unless 496 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,960 again, unforeseen things, ridiculous rash of injuries, 497 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,920 because now think about this. If they get the lead off hitter 498 00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:42,200 and you know, one of my biggest gripes with this team is aside 499 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,440 from being on third base and shortstop is they don't have a 500 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,640 lead off hitter. And my guy Boonie can tell me 501 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,560 all the time. No, they we do We not you don't 502 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,720 have a lead off hitter in the conventional sense. 503 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,880 The one that I want that that's not the lead off hitter that I 504 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,920 want the Yankees to have. You know, I'm used to watching, 505 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:03,440 you know, even back in the day, you know, Ricky and and Willie 506 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,360 and then obviously you know, Jeets and Knobby and Soriano, 507 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:11,040 like I'm going to be a little more than Trent Grisham and I 508 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,160 know he's going to hit home runs. 509 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,560 But if see if it's not one route, it's two if they get the 510 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,200 lead off hitter now you lengthen the line up and the bottom third 511 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,720 becomes less of an issue because now Trent Grisham's going to a 512 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,040 place where he should be, where he should be. 513 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,640 He should be 6 or geez, if Trent Grisham's your 7 hitter, you got 514 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,000 the best 7 hitter in baseball. You really do. 515 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,840 I mean, with an OPS of 811 whatever was a year ago in the 516 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:44,120 34 home runs, if he if he if he can even replicate that by, you 517 00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:47,680 know, 80 ish percent. Even if he goes 2728 home runs 518 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,000 and has an OPS of 796-A slight drop, a slight diminishment home 519 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,520 run. So they've got 2 avenues or two 520 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,200 lanes as as Aaron likes to say. Haven't heard him say it that 521 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,280 this year though, yet It's coming 2 avenues to improve this 522 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,720 team and get them to a level where I would then expect and I 523 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,200 have not expected them to be a champion and Lord knows how 524 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,600 long. I didn't remember the last year 525 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,680 I went into a season, whether it's on the air or just 526 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,880 internally where I'm like Yankees going to win the World 527 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,000 Series this year. Now I knew what Soto they'd have 528 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,320 a much better chance. I was obviously it was a 529 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,080 different level of optimism, but I wasn't that bold saying, oh, 530 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,320 absolutely a championship team, I'm like they'll be in the mix. 531 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,320 If they get a lead off man, that's one that's one Ave. 532 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,640 Or if they get the third baseman, you still resolve the 533 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,880 bottom third of the order because now you can mix things 534 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,120 around and you get a little more consistency. 535 00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:43,560 That's really the only thing that worries me about the 536 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,760 Yankees. You know, now those are two kind 537 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,760 of big things like if you don't love the lead off man and you 538 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,800 don't love the final three spots of the batting order, you know, 539 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,680 you're basically talking about four slots in a nine man lineup. 540 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,280 But you know, the other areas are so good and the pitching is 541 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,840 so elite and should remain that way that you, you even if they 542 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,360 don't do anything, they're going to win 949596 games. 543 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,200 And I, I, I, I will, I'm going to check myself a little bit 544 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,640 here and keep it real. All offseason, I did not think 545 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,200 that the Yankees would win the division. 546 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,160 Now, I don't want to be that guy, you know, six games and 547 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,240 say, oh, they're going to be the division champion up, They're 548 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,000 going to win 102 games up. I'm giving you possibilities as 549 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,400 to how they can get there. But even if they don't get a 550 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,440 lead off, man, like a true one or upgrade third base. 551 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:36,920 Can you imagine if they did both, by the way? 552 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,480 Jeez. And that's what I mean when I 553 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,080 say they owe Aaron Judge. Like Derek Jeter would go out 554 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,120 there and you, I remember hearing this, my dad would say 555 00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:47,520 this for some reason. I'm like nothing. 556 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,520 He didn't like Jeter. He always thought Jeter was a 557 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,680 little bit overrated, which might not be the best take that 558 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,840 my dad's ever had. I don't truly disagree in the 559 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,600 sense that like it goes back to the whole a rod Jeter thing. 560 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,000 You know, there's some Yankee fans and it's how I actually 561 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,240 became friends with a rod. It came up on the air one time 562 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,040 when I was still on the fan and, and he heard the segment and 563 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,920 then he reached out to his PR guy and that's how we wound up 564 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,280 having lunch and, and, you know, striking up a relationship, 565 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,120 right. And, you know, I, I remember 566 00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:18,720 saying, and I didn't bring it up. 567 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,480 The colder did I'm like, wait a SEC. 568 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,800 He's like, you know, Jeter was better than a rod. 569 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,080 I'm like, on what planet are you from? 570 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,160 What? Where at what? 571 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,960 You know, he wasn't a better defensive shortstop. 572 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,360 He Jeter certainly didn't have the power in terms of speed when 573 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,480 they were both in their prime. Pretty pretty freaking close in 574 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,120 terms of average. I mean, you know, I mean, Derek 575 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:42,720 was a very high average hitter, but so was a rod multiple MB 576 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,200 Atlas was just better. Need to convince anybody who's 577 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,600 better. But I say that because think of 578 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,920 all the players. Think about this, this, all the 579 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,000 players that Derek Jeter played with, and my dad's argument was 580 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,480 always, and others have said this too, you know, if Jeter was 581 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,240 on the Pirates or Jeter was on the Reds, you know, does he have 582 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,040 3000 hits? Honestly, he might. 583 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,920 I, I'm not going to say that he wouldn't, but he wouldn't be 584 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,280 viewed as one of the most clutch champions of all time because he 585 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,240 would have been in a position to be there enough if ever, if he 586 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,000 was with the Pirates of the Reds, you know, or the White Sox 587 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,600 or the Morelands. So the point is they got to get 588 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,760 more around Judge and I'm going to keep my foot on the gas. 589 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,960 I promise you Yankee fans all summer for Cashman to make one 590 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,480 kick ass move. Find this year's David Justice. 591 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,040 Find that guy. I don't need him today. 592 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,160 I don't need him tomorrow. I don't need him by the Kentucky 593 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,360 Derby weekend. I don't need him by my birthday 594 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,320 in late June. By 4th of July. 595 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,160 I'm going to need somebody. I'm going to need somebody 596 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,400 because you don't all the players, whether it was a Rod or 597 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,880 Tino or Moe or Pettit or Bernie or you name anybody that that 598 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,480 that that that posada O'Neill. Think about the line that the 599 00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,640 Jeter went out there with, right? 600 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,280 Think about the players that he went to battle with every single 601 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,120 night. Think about what Reggie Jackson 602 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,880 that now Reggie had to have those clutch moments and he 603 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,400 obviously stepped up in his and from a power point of view was 604 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,440 like the power version of Jeter in terms of clutchiness, right? 605 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,120 But he had Thurman, he had Nettles, he had Pinella, he had 606 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,400 Willie. He had Roy White early that I 607 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,680 don't know if I said Munson, but if I didn't, my bet had Munson. 608 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,360 Obviously Chantless was a good first baseman. 609 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,720 Think about that, you know, and then even Mattingly who never 610 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,480 won, had Ricky had Winfield had and had Randolph in the lineup. 611 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,840 So just close your eyes and think about all the great 612 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,960 players that Aaron Judge has played with. 613 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,280 Ruth had Gehrig, Gehrig had Ruth right? 614 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,960 DiMaggio had was that was that Tony Lazarie? 615 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,480 You know, obviously Yogi was a was with Mickey and Whitey. 616 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,600 Like think the names that we throw out there that are 617 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,640 associated with the the brilliance, the greatness of the 618 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,920 Yankee brand. Who the hell can you put next to 619 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,520 Judge who? I mean, basically since he came 620 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,680 up, they've been looking for now, I do think that Rice is 621 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,720 going to be the first baseman for a long time, certainly is a 622 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,560 great hitter. And I think he's going to be a 623 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,840 good for solid, not maybe not good solid. 624 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,520 He's not going to bear. He's not going to embarrass your 625 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,360 first base. But you know, when he first came 626 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,440 up, it was Bird. All right, interesting. 627 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,320 Fizzled out out of baseball gone. 628 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,560 Then it was like Luke Voit during COVID who actually LED 629 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,280 baseball in home runs And what's I don't even know what Luke 630 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,560 Voit's doing now. Who is the catcher? 631 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,640 Gary Sanchez, Interesting for a minute. 632 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,160 He's been on four teams. You know, whatever basically 633 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,400 fizzled out. Not the guy. 634 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,320 How many second baseman's has he played with? 635 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,160 How many shortstops has he played? 636 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,960 How many good shortstops? He played with DD for a minute, 637 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,000 right? Who else? 638 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,080 I mean, Caballero's a backup. Both. 639 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,840 He's been a a massive underachiever or disappointment 640 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,640 so far. Think about all the third 641 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,600 baseman that the Yankees have rolled in during Aaron Judge's 642 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,680 time. Think about the center fielders. 643 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,280 Hell, they didn't have a center fielder. 644 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,320 So average Judge had a basically, you know, drag his 6 645 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:09,080 foot 7 or 6 foot 8, 270 LB frame to center field because the 646 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,880 Yankees couldn't couldn't find one, couldn't develop 1. 647 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,480 You know, all right, Grisham's there now $22 million qualifying 648 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,720 offer. It's probably going to be gone 649 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,520 next year. Whatever. 650 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,000 Dominguez ate it. Jones never going to be it. 651 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,920 You know, Aaron Hicks wasn't it. Think about all the left 652 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,360 fielders they've had now Bellinger's obviously very 653 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,120 solid, but think about the guys that they had Mcclint, Frazier 654 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,280 coming up. You you guys know what I mean. 655 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,800 So there's two things at play here. 656 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,280 Number one, the Yankees are going to be really, really good 657 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,640 this year. And I think even more important 658 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,040 than that is they've got a real chance to be a champion this 659 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,720 year and it's on Cashman to find the guy. 660 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,800 So when they introduce Aaron Judge today and they introduce 661 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,480 all the Yankees and all the pomp and circumstance, I and I kind 662 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,920 of like what open days a little chilly. 663 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,200 I do like that. Like one thing I can't stand and 664 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,280 not that I want it to be like snowing like it did back in 96 665 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,720 when Pettit was pitching against the Royals. 666 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,600 I don't need that, but I can't stand. 667 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,360 And I think you guys would agree with this, Jay, you probably 668 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,760 agree with this as well. Pop in Jay. 669 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,800 Now I don't have season tickets anymore for The Jets, but I did 670 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,200 for a couple of years, as you guys know. 671 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,760 So the home opener, I can't remember one year against the 672 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,720 Bengals and I think Curtis had like a 40 yard touchdown run 673 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,400 where he dove with the left pylon. 674 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,800 I, I, I believe that was the same game since he high scoring 675 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,240 game, right? I was like 90°. 676 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,160 I can't stand going to. That's one thing. 677 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,000 If you go to a preseason game, have a beer, you know you're in 678 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,080 shorts, you're in a flip flops. There's no real urgency hanging 679 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,320 out. You just want to see a little 680 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,480 football for a social point of view. 681 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,240 I can't stand week one in the NFL. 682 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,360 When I'm in a stadium and it's 89°, I can't stand. 683 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,480 Like this, I hate it. Well, I guess 889 is brutal. 684 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,720 Well, that's happened a couple Times Now. 685 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,840 I mean, the weather's changed. Think about this in the 686 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,320 Northeast, like when I was a kid, the, I remember on 687 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:08,200 Halloween, right? I would, my, my, my mom was such 688 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,000 a warrior. The Italian mom is that, you 689 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,760 know, as, you know, worried about everything. 690 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,280 Oh, you're going to get sick. Oh, it's going to have, you're 691 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,840 going to get kidnapped. Oh, you're going to get hit by a 692 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,680 car, God forbid. Worried about everything right. 693 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,520 So on Halloween, you know you when I was young young you'd 694 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,160 have a cool costume, but she like make me put this fat jacket 695 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,280 on like not like the cool park is like the kids have with the 696 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,120 Jordan logo, whatever, you know, North face, whatever else you 697 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,760 have. No, I mean, these were like, I 698 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,440 felt like a mummy. Like I and I, I remember Jay 11 699 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,840 Halloween and she's very artistic, great drawer, great 700 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,320 painter, very artistic, great with makeup. 701 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,600 I wanted to be Rocky, right. So she made like the black eyes 702 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,000 and everything. And yeah, yeah, yeah. 703 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,760 And I had somehow, like I you back then, you couldn't buy like 704 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,400 a fake championship belt like every kid has now. 705 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,120 So she made me like a, a fake boxing championship belt. 706 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,800 But I had like shorts over grey sweatpants and I had like a 707 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,320 Rocky Balboa shirt. And then I, I think I had a 708 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,280 towel around my neck. But then I had this massive 709 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,480 jacket. Anyway, the point is when I was 710 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,320 a kid, Halloween was freezing. Now, you know, I'm out there 711 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,719 watching most of my my kids, whether it's my daughter playing 712 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,400 soccer, my son playing football, or my son playing, you know, 713 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,000 baseball in the fall as well. I'm out there in shorts, man. 714 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,199 It's hot. So the the weather patterns 715 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:25,719 changes my point. So yes, you do. 716 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:31,040 Basically, October to me in the Northeast is more like May, and 717 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,239 really April in a lot of ways is more like October if you really 718 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,120 think about it. No, I mean I, I feel like even 719 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,520 up in Syracuse when I was up there, we were seeing like 75 720 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,960 till mid November. So beautiful up there. 721 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,560 Yeah, well, hit or miss up there. 722 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,520 I remember. You've heard of Lemoyne, right? 723 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,320 Of course, man. Yeah, I figured that. 724 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,040 I remember I was a freshman at Maris and we played Lemoyne and 725 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,480 this when they were a power man. They would have Really. 726 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,160 Oh God, they would have like 4 or five kids drafted every year. 727 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,800 I didn't know that. One was like a good baseball 728 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,760 school like that. Yeah, I think they dropped down 729 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,320 to Division Two for all their sports. 730 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,400 I think 100% the Dolphins, right? 731 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,760 Yeah. Remember Woodridge because the 732 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,360 coaches name was Woodridge and his son Vicky was a second 733 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,880 baseman. Remember, he had a couple of 734 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,200 home runs against us every year. They had a couple of kids 735 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:19,800 drafted. Yeah. 736 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,240 But I remember, I think I only played them once and it was a 737 00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:25,400 non conference game and it was early as a freshman and it was 738 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,080 like 38 and bluster. Awful baseball weather, 739 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,000 absolutely horrendous baseball weather. 740 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,480 But yeah, I mean, that's what I'm saying about the Yankees. 741 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,800 It looks a little different. It feels a little different. 742 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,600 And there's going to be a window of opportunity for Cashman to 743 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,440 strike to really, truly make it different. 744 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,680 All right, What's Dave say? Dave Moore 425? 745 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:46,800 Hey, BT you were saying yesterday that you wouldn't 746 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,720 trade Cam or Lombard for schemes or school ball? 747 00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:52,000 I didn't say lamp Lombard. I said I said Cam. 748 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,120 Just to be fair, I never mentioned Lombard. 749 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,840 I threw them out as part of a package. 750 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,600 Maybe that's what you thought. I was just throwing names out. 751 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,000 But I my point was I would I would not. 752 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,520 I would take Cam out of it anyway. 753 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,240 Remember when they wouldn't trade Phil Hughes or Jabba for 754 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:09,120 Johann Santana? How did their careers go after 755 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,520 that? Understood. 756 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,560 Yes, very true. And Jabba, man, that was a 757 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,200 phenom. Like you had like Linsanity, 758 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,640 then you had Jabba time. That Jabba time was it was real 759 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,160 for a minute, right. And then those stupid midges out 760 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,400 in Cleveland basically ruined everything. 761 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,000 And by the way, that one was on Joe Torre and Tori, I think 762 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,880 eventually took blame for that. Like there's no way you continue 763 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,280 that game. There's no way you continue that 764 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,480 game. I remember I was on a golf trip. 765 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,920 I had a weekend Seaview, I think by Atlantic City, two really 766 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,800 nice golf courses, like an inland course and one on the 767 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,480 water right. And they we had a relationship 768 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,080 this when I was at 10:50 and like me and my boys, like four 769 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,760 of us, like I think it was 4. Frank was there, Dan was there, 770 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,960 Rob was there, Maddie was there, maybe 5 sick, whatever. 771 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,520 And they gave us like this massive sweet. 772 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,120 There was so much fun. And we played golf ball days. 773 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,840 And I remember I'm like, hey, good boy Yankee game. 774 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,600 So they rolled in this massive, this is obviously years ago. 775 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,880 They didn't really have the flat screens like they do now. 776 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:15,760 They rolled in this massive, massive TV with a massive bucket 777 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,920 of Coors lights and we just sat there after we played and when 778 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,760 you know, we're having a couple beers watching the game. 779 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,240 That was the midges game. So I'll never forget where I was 780 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:24,960 and I remember screaming at the TV. 781 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,880 Joe pull them off the field. Joe pull them off the field and 782 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,760 and he never did, never did. But the point is this right? 783 00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:36,720 So I did say this yesterday and I won 1000% stand by this. 784 00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:38,640 So Jabba, that was a little Side Story on Jabba. 785 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,600 Jabba look different than Phil Hughes did and I remember I saw 786 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:48,600 Phil Hughes pitch at Trenton at double AI was so interested and 787 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,960 so intrigued by him that I win and I I very rarely go to minor 788 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,880 league games, even though I I love baseball. 789 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,720 I took it upon myself. I called downtown and I watched 790 00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:00,800 him pitch AA Trenton Thunder. Will they will they the Thunder. 791 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,640 At that point it was definitely AA and they had I think I did 792 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:04,800 it. Yo, you know what it was? 793 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:13,640 No, I did a show from there. And if I recollect properly, I 794 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,920 actually think that somehow my station begin 10:50 set it up 795 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,080 with the Modern League affiliate where I was able to, like, call 796 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,280 the game and do a show at the same time. 797 00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:26,240 Yeah, because I remember I was kind of sick. 798 00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:28,480 Yeah. Anyway, Phil Hughes, I was 799 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,640 pumped. And I remember he was throwing a 800 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,080 no hit or hurt his hamstring. Right. 801 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,960 He was. He just never, ever. 802 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,200 He never looked like this. Cam Schlitzler is different now. 803 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,720 I don't have a magic wand. I don't have a crystal ball. 804 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,000 I don't know if camp slit there's going to stay healthy. 805 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,160 Nobody knows, man. Nobody knows about skins, nobody 806 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,240 knows about school. Now the good thing is, and 807 00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:54,040 obviously the shoulder is very different from from the from the 808 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,040 elbow, like rotator elbow. You're going to be back at some 809 00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,680 point like Gary Cohen, everybody else right. 810 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:05,920 But Otani, the thing about camp slit there and Hughes had a good 811 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,920 delivery as well. But he's got a very effortless, 812 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,720 you know, like he really uses his legs to me, which takes away 813 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:17,080 a lot of the stress of the joints up here, right? 814 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,080 And you know, who's the best of all time at that? 815 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,440 To me, it was Tom Seaver. I don't think anybody used 816 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,560 leverage points and used their entire body the way the Tom 817 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,000 Seaver did. And that's why he was able to 818 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,080 get his 300th win against the Yankees. 819 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,760 I was watching that game. But when he was with the White 820 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,560 Sox, that should have been with the Mets, man Don Baylor. 821 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,320 Jeez, what? What you remember as a kid, 822 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,040 remember sitting there watching on Channel 11 and Don Baylor 823 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,040 flew out to left field at Yankee Stadium and Tom Seaver got #300 824 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,400 Hey, Jared, do me a favor. This. 825 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,720 Is always this is always a little dicey when I asked him to 826 00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:52,920 do this. Here we go. 827 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,560 Do it on a computer, not on your phone. 828 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,120 All right, look up Tom Seaver stats. 829 00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:02,840 Pretty easy request. We we know that Jay can handle 830 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,120 this now. We told him the other day. 831 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:10,600 And I know, like I know one year was like 297 innings and just I 832 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,600 don't need wins and WHIP and yeah, right. 833 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,520 Just if you can. And what was his first year? 834 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:20,480 67 something like that, read 67 read in succession innings 835 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,080 pitched, just like boom boom from year to year. 836 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,160 Boom boom boom boom. Just give me like 6 or seven in 837 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,360 a row go. Let's see. 838 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,040 Innings pitched. See. 839 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,720 Nah. Oh God, I got it. 840 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:31,440 I've got it. I've got it. 841 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,200 OK, 250-1270. Eight that time out, time out. 842 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,640 22nd. All right, you got it. 843 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,720 You got it right. 251 is a rookie. 844 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,600 Think about what we do with these pitchers now. 845 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,400 Think about even from a Mets point of view, like, hey, you 846 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,640 know, Clay Holmes hasn't started in six years. 847 00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,840 Couple of starts with the Pirates, you got and I get it, I 848 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,720 get it. It's the new way of baseball. 849 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,040 We've got to incrementally, you know, build out 20 or 30 850 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,600 innings. Like there's a thought, you 851 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,720 don't want to have somebody exceed a, a threshold of, you 852 00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:03,960 know, 40 innings per year. So like, if you going from AA 853 00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:08,160 and you throw, I don't know, 94 innings, you're not going to go 854 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,280 190 the next year. You're not going to go below by 855 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,240 the stop sign. It's just little, you know, 856 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:14,760 little checkpoints increments. All right, so and this guy 857 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:20,040 throws 251 his first year. Go ahead, 270. 8. 278 I know 858 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,240 there's a 290 somewhere in there. 859 00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:29,120 Cut 278. 290 is in his fourth season in 19701969's 273 that's 860 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:35,400 the championship year. Then 286, 260-2290 again 861 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:42,560 23628271I mean it's 61 I. Mean, it's just unreal. 862 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,600 Think about that and one of the reasons why. 863 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,080 And there's other guys too, maybe not quite like Seaver. 864 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,240 He may have been the greatest he, but first of all, he might 865 00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:53,000 be the greatest right-handed pitcher of all time. 866 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,400 Like I only saw old Seaver like with the White Sox with his 867 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,080 300th win and when he came back to the Mets in 83. 868 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,480 I do remember watching that opening day on Channel 9. 869 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,200 But he might be the greatest workhorse of all time and he 870 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,360 really might be the greatest right-handed pitcher of all 871 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,520 time. Pedro's there. 872 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,800 You know, some people say maybe Bob Gibson. 873 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,960 It's a short list. Either way, you're not going 874 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,080 that. Same with Clemens. 875 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,040 Clemens was a guy who had thick legs, like massive tree trunk 876 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,160 thighs and really had great leverage and really used his 877 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,000 legs to absorb the taxing on his on his upper joints. 878 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,960 And Siever like that's why Tom Siever's that would be his left 879 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,080 knee. His left knee always had dirt on 880 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,120 it because he would his left knee would actually scrape 881 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,400 against the ground. That's how low he would get. 882 00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:41,800 So Camp Schlepler. I mean, nobody does that quite 883 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,960 like that, but I see Cam Schlittler and I see a guy who 884 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,560 the ball flies out of his hand without seemingly, seemingly 885 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,200 without even going Max exertion. He's added another pitch. 886 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,560 He's 6/6 to the balls on you faster because the release 887 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,200 points out more because he's bigger and his levers are longer 888 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,680 and he knows how to command them. 889 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,760 And I just think that he's untouchable. 890 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,840 Like for me, he would be untouchable now. 891 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,480 School ball obviously would be a rental. 892 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:11,880 There's no way in hell I would do that. 893 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,200 But I also said yesterday and I'm I'm not changing my I will 894 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,560 unless she gets rocked that he has a horrendous year, then I'll 895 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,280 say what was wrong and I'm an idiot, right? 896 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,440 He's not going to get rocked and he's not going to have an awful 897 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,520 year. He's going to be an All Star and 898 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,200 he's going to have an awesome year, right, But I just hope he 899 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:30,120 just hope he stays healthy. But I think that somebody like 900 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,480 Cam Schlittler, even with Skeens, who has a lot of years 901 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:39,760 of controllability, even if you can make a trade with the, you 902 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,600 know, with the pretense we're going to sign the extension, 903 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,160 which is never going to happen because these guys going to 904 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,480 maximize their their free agent dollar, obviously. 905 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,280 And they should you want you want to flex there because when 906 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,800 you get there, you really only get there once where you signed 907 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,000 that massive deal. Although it's different now with 908 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,520 the opt out, you get back on the market. 909 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:55,520 We all know it's changed a little bit. 910 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,920 Even Soto could opt out, but the Mets can prevent them from 911 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,280 leaving, right Bellinger, etcetera, Tucker, like these 912 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,000 deals at Bichette. So the reason why I wouldn't do 913 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:10,040 that even then is because let's say it was literally it was, you 914 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,440 know, I don't know if they say if they love Jones or Dominguez 915 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,800 Lombard and Schlittler at another low level highly rated 916 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,400 Yankee prospect for skins and skiing signs that tend to deal 917 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,760 with the Yankees. Well, the way the Yankees now 918 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,920 operate, it's pretty clear that it's not win at all costs, which 919 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,120 stinks because it used to be. And that's one thing that drives 920 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,120 me absolutely nuts. And that's the thing. 921 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:34,560 Not that house cheap, but there is a there's been a 922 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,120 recalibration all right, and how the Yankees pursue championships 923 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,760 and it's obvious and it's been going on for a long time right. 924 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,160 So if they were to get that Skeens comes with a 10 year, 925 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,000 nine year deal and you get rid of Cam Schlittler. 926 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,880 Well, OK, school right now Skeens is better because he's 927 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,840 got more of a body of work. I don't think he's necessarily 928 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,480 got better stuff. I don't know about that. 929 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,560 But he's a more accomplished pitcher because he's been on the 930 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,040 in the show longer. But the money that he would get 931 00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:04,720 now you're you're taking away more money to spread around the 932 00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,320 team, which is desperately going to need it. 933 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,480 And I'll get back to that in a minute. 934 00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:11,160 And the other thing that I said yesterday, like, if you really 935 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,480 think about it, do you think that camp slip now, if you don't 936 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,040 think this this would change how you would do business with the 937 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,560 Pirates, right? I don't think that I should say, 938 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,560 I think, and this is conservative, this is very low 939 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,320 estimate. I think that Cam Schlittler is 940 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:34,880 at least amenably very conservative, at least 85% of 941 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,360 Skeens. So if a guy's 85% of maybe the 942 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,240 best pitcher in baseball along with school ball, why would I 943 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,960 flip that now take on 6 or $700 million when the one guy who's 944 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,240 probably 12/15/18 percent who knows that I think that that 945 00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:53,240 gaps going to narrow myself, I do, who's making $800,000? 946 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,920 Why would I do that? That's not good business. 947 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,280 Now one SEC, Jay, if you're sitting here telling me, well, 948 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,480 we're going to get back to the old days and hell yeah, we're 949 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,280 going to trade for schemes and we're going to keep Schlittler 950 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,760 or we're going to sign schemes, whatever it is right or or or 951 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,400 schoolable. And we're going to have 952 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,280 schoolable making a gazillion dollars and Max Freed making a 953 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,320 gazillion dollars and Gerard Cole couple more years making 954 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,840 big money and rolled on his contracts. 955 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,880 Not up yet. Like this is an arrow judge 956 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,920 making good money, although he's woefully underpaid at this 957 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,320 point. It's not going it's it's not 958 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,720 going to be economically feasible from their new 959 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:33,560 blueprint of doing business. Yankees won't do it. 960 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,640 If they would do it, then I would be, we wouldn't be saying 961 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,840 this because I'd say, all right, school becomes a free agent. 962 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,040 Yanks will get them like the Yankees used to get everybody. 963 00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:46,160 But that doesn't happen anymore because the Yankees don't go. 964 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,720 They go to the one yard line. They go to, they go inside the 965 00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:50,080 five. They have a great tribe. 966 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:54,560 Yeah, 9800 million, whatever the offer was for for Juan Soto, 967 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,080 they did have the highest AAV to be fair for Yamamoto. 968 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,400 But you know, moving across field, boom, defense can't stop 969 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:06,080 you inside the 40, inside the 30, inside the 20 red zone, you 970 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,800 know, short red inside the 10 at the seven Yanks get into the 971 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,960 five yard line with some of these big, big, big deals 972 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,160 recently. This is irrefutable. 973 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,040 The evidence is there. They stall out and they wind up 974 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,520 picking a field goal instead of punching in for six. 975 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,640 That's the difference. You know what I mean Who the 976 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,040 hell was texting me? Leave me alone. 977 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:30,240 Let's see here. Oh man. 978 00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:33,800 I shot you. I got to shut that off, so not a 979 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,840 lot to add to that. J Rod, I see I. 980 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,480 Mean listen, I I got exactly, I mean exactly what you were 981 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,720 saying, exactly what you were saying. 982 00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:44,080 Let's understood. Little is that guy. 983 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,280 Oh, he's tremendous, dude. He is just absolutely filthy. 984 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,960 Marciano 1320 says Quan would be perfect on this Yankees team as 985 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,080 a lead off man. Yeah, I won't give credit. 986 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,200 Sal brought that up. Sal brought that up about a year 987 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,960 ago where you know, we're talking about the Yankees lineup 988 00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:03,200 basically, you know, no lead off hitter, not enough protection 989 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,200 around Aaron Judge is before Schlittler pop and all the other 990 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,280 stuff right, and we both didn't like their lineup and he brought 991 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,880 up quantum like it's a really good idea. 992 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:18,440 So let's just mess around. I'm going to go 12345678. 993 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,840 I'm going to go 9. Let's say Quan. 994 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,440 All right, see the here's here's the problem, though, because now 995 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,040 you it's not a problem that Bellinger's back, but with 996 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,680 Grisham here. All right, I'll figure this out 997 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,640 though. Quan goal glove left fielder 998 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:37,560 Batten 1. Now you could go to thinking 999 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,320 lefty righty switch You can go to. 1000 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,480 I guess you keep judge too. I wouldn't, but they will judge 1001 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,960 and right too. Now you go back to the lefties 1002 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,840 here. Now you go. 1003 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,560 I would go Ben Rice myself, although Bellinger can run all 1004 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,800 right. You want to keep Belding the 1005 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,600 three hole. Let's go there and I'm going to 1006 00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:02,400 put Bellinger in center field. Then you got Stanton, who looks 1007 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,840 physically viable so far. Then you got Rice, right. 1008 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,120 Then you get into the, you know, the Grishams and you start 1009 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,560 filling out the roster. I mean, could you imagine with 1010 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:14,760 this pitching staff how many runs Quan would scratch out and, 1011 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:20,320 and how many, you know, games the Yankees could and would win 1012 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,200 without needing a long ball? And not that Quan can't hit a 1013 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,480 couple, but Quan, Judge, Belly, all three can hit. 1014 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,760 All three are on base. All three could run, you know, 1015 00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:33,120 so you know, that was that was a good call by Sal. 1016 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,080 That was a while ago. Hulk Hogan, brother 25. 1017 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,000 Yep, it is a no rules Friday on the show. 1018 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,360 Wow, this is awesome. All right about to be a father 1019 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,160 for the first time. That is tremendous. 1020 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,240 God bless you, man, God bless you. 1021 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,400 You seem like a great father. I try to be, you know, I I 1022 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,240 certainly I I give it everything I have, but everything I have I 1023 00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:54,880 try. I've definitely made mistakes. 1024 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,120 There's no question, but I've tried. 1025 00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:01,720 Any advice on raising a son? Love the show, man. 1026 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:03,840 So you know, you're having a boy. 1027 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:09,320 I, I'd like to know when, when is when is your son? 1028 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:10,680 Like what's the due date? Right? 1029 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,120 Because the first thing I would want you to do, and I, this came 1030 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:19,400 up about a month or so ago. Paint the room, paint the room. 1031 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,560 You know, I don't know what teams you root for, but I'm sure 1032 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,160 you're going to pass those on to your kids, right? 1033 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:24,880 And certainly to your son to start. 1034 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,040 So I painted my son's room Yankee blue. 1035 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,360 This is when we were still in a condo, you know, Yankee theme 1036 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,840 and and I like the the pride and I'm not a really good painter. 1037 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,640 I figured it out. I remember I was playing my rock 1038 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,800 music like 1043, getting some stone. 1039 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,240 He said I'd do in August, all right. 1040 00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:45,600 Plenty of time to do this, right? 1041 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,080 Give yourself a couple of beers, whatever you drink. 1042 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,200 And not, not to sit there and get wasted, but maybe pour a 1043 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,920 little Scotch, a little celebrate if you, if you're a 1044 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,320 cigar guy, whatever, whatever your little vice is to just 1045 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,280 enjoy the moment like a celebration. 1046 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,960 Do it, pump the music, do it when your wife is out right? 1047 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,960 Have the place to yourself and start with that. 1048 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,960 That's the first thing you know. The other thing is, you know, 1049 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,360 when you talk about rays in the sun and it, it's, I mean, it's 1050 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:18,240 just, it's hard, it's hard to generalize because there are 1051 00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:21,480 just so many different personalities that are born like 1052 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,360 my, my daughter and my son are, are such different 1053 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,800 personalities, right? But since you asked me about a 1054 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:31,520 son, I, I remember and I'm not even going to make it about 1055 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,280 sports, although I will say this, start early. 1056 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,280 And I, I feel like, you know, that like if you're a big sports 1057 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,080 fan watching this show, get the ball in his hands. 1058 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,120 You know what, I'm going to tell you a little something about 1059 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,840 sports. One thing that I did early, like 1060 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,200 I would take tennis balls and I would, I would, you know, first, 1061 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,360 you know, I'm talking about what he's like one years old, like 1062 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,840 he's just laying on the on the carpet like a BLOB, right? 1063 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,520 Give him a little bounce. And then I would start spinning 1064 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,640 the ball right, easy. I'm not throwing peas at him. 1065 00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,120 But then all of a sudden you start to see their eyes start to 1066 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,440 follow the ball and like the hands and the eyes become 1067 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,400 connected. Now I I don't know. 1068 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,520 Are you born with hand eye? I don't know the answer to that. 1069 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,360 I couldn't run for shit, but I had really good hand eye 1070 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:11,600 coordination. I don't know, did I get that 1071 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:12,760 from my dad? My dad could run. 1072 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,760 He's got good hand eyes. So probably you probably are 1073 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,840 born with it, dude. I don't I don't know, but you 1074 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,280 could definitely do those little things right just to get that 1075 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,320 going a little bit. The first thing aside from 1076 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,440 sports that and he does it. And if I had to remind him, I I 1077 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:29,760 get it, but I don't have to get annoyed. 1078 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,800 I'll just remind him, but I really don't have to remind him 1079 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,520 This I from day one. Go hold the door for your mom. 1080 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:38,440 Go hold the door for your daughter. 1081 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,560 Go hold, hold it for grandma, hold it for Grammy. 1082 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,760 Hey, we're walking into a diner because we, we, I'm a big diner 1083 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,720 guy, even though a diner is a complete RIP off at this point. 1084 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,080 Like when I used to go to the diner and I go all the time. 1085 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,600 I've said this with my dad after like CYO games and we'd read the 1086 00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,360 papers and we'd be there for an hour, right? 1087 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,120 We just, we basically do a radio show. 1088 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,000 That's why I've always said my dad is my first radio partner. 1089 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,320 I just didn't know it because then we would go in the car and 1090 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,120 we would just talk sports, you know, anything to avoid talking 1091 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:08,440 school from my point of view. But we do that all the time. 1092 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,280 And when we would go to the diner, if this is, you know, 1093 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,040 this is mid 80s, late 80s in Brooklyn, they would bring a 1094 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,160 massive tray of Pickles and bread and coleslaw. 1095 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,880 Now you got to ask for it. They give you these little tiny 1096 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,640 slices. I'm like, I have a little bit 1097 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,400 more chore, but the diner I go through is great. 1098 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,200 Like, but they got to pay for it. 1099 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,560 Like they know as well by now I'm like, you know, the deal, 1100 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,600 put it on the tab, whatever. I want some Pickles, you know, 1101 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,880 but a lot of times we're going to the diner like after a game, 1102 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,720 right? And maybe time to kill between 1103 00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:40,160 another game or before another game. 1104 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:45,480 And you know, if I see like an elderly couple or, you know, 1105 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,360 not, not for a grown man. Although if you're in front of 1106 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,240 him, hold the door for him, you know, he'll run up that little 1107 00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:53,840 ramp. You know, he when he was little, 1108 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,320 he'd run up there like, you know, like a little 345 year 1109 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,680 old. Now he that has a 11 year old 1110 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,800 athletic jog and he, he knows to do it, you know, and I think 1111 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,040 it's got to start with manners. And that's even that's a battle, 1112 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,400 you know, with certain things like, you know, put the napkin 1113 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:11,840 on your lap. Like you just got to teach him 1114 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,200 this stuff, You know, don't eat with your hands, don't eat with 1115 00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,480 your mouth open. You know, I, I, that's really 1116 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:19,720 the best advice I could give you. 1117 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,120 I don't know his personality. I don't know your level of 1118 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,800 education. I don't know your, your depth of 1119 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,080 sports. Did you play that you and I 1120 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,280 don't need to know now. I think you cater it to your 1121 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:35,200 obviously what you know best and and I would even say cater it to 1122 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,880 cater to what? Here's some some other advice. 1123 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,480 Cater to what are your weaknesses. 1124 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,960 All right, and I'm going to I'm going to give you an example. 1125 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:47,840 This is personal, but I'll give you an example. 1126 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,360 So he can you ask me about my son. 1127 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:53,960 I could go on and on about my daughter as well. 1128 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:58,120 My God, she's the best, but he asked me about about a son and 1129 00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:03,040 he sometimes it's too much. He he competes like a lunatic 1130 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,560 like and he's now dealing, which I love. 1131 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,080 I could I'd rather pull you back then have to wind you up every 1132 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,800 day of the week. No doubt his motor is is there 1133 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,280 and he's a really good teammate, but he's hard on himself. 1134 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:21,320 And I noticed maybe because you know, daddy's got a public 1135 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,800 persona. I hate saying that, but you 1136 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,640 don't see daddy on TV now. You see him on YouTube, on the 1137 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:27,960 radio, St. John's games. 1138 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,640 Daddy happens to know some people who are I hate the word 1139 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,000 famous. My daughter always says, you 1140 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,760 know, like to your daddy, you're fame. 1141 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,440 No, I'm not famous. I can't stand the word famous. 1142 00:55:37,720 --> 00:55:42,360 I have a public job, right? And you know, you don't know in 1143 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,040 the mind of a of a young at that point, like 8-9. 1144 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,600 So he's 11. I probably started this more 1145 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,840 when he was nine. You don't know how they're 1146 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,600 viewing you in terms of, you know, you like to think every 1147 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,560 kid looks at their mom and dad is their hero. 1148 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,960 And I think in in in his mind particularly, I think that he 1149 00:55:59,960 --> 00:56:02,720 thought that I was a whole hell of a lot better at baseball than 1150 00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:05,440 I actually was. You know, you see a picture of I 1151 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,760 got some stuff in the office, most of the kids, but got a 1152 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,320 couple of things of, you know, me playing in college and he 1153 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,160 sees that and he's like, man, Daddy was daddy was amazing. 1154 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:18,680 So what I started to do was, and I wasn't, I wish I started to 1155 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:23,960 almost almost accentuate some of my failures rather than saying, 1156 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,120 oh man, this time in high school or you know, Daddy played the 1157 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,640 All Star game at Yankee Stadium for high school, which he knows. 1158 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:33,800 But rather than talk about that stuff, Daddy just Daddy didn't 1159 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,960 get it done in college. Daddy started as the three 1160 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,920 hitter and Daddy just didn't produce and Daddy was hurt and 1161 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,360 it crushed Daddy. So anything that you're going 1162 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,240 through, I get it. Like I would say, if you can 1163 00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:49,680 start with a database as not perfect and I'm still learning, 1164 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:51,840 we all are. If you could start with a 1165 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:58,720 database of manners, Obviously, if, if if you're a person of 1166 00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:02,680 faith, which we are, it's very important and not everybody is. 1167 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,200 And I get that. I think you start there, you 1168 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,160 start there, the athletic stuff, take care of it, but start early 1169 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,120 with playing sports, you know, And the other thing too, I will 1170 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,000 say this, like I noticed a big dip, this just about sports, you 1171 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:19,560 know, actually like playing. I, I noticed the kids, the kids 1172 00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,960 who I coach and the kids that I see play, the kids who sit there 1173 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,800 and watch games with their, with their dad, their mom, their 1174 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:32,000 uncle, the grandfather, the kids who watch games, know the game 1175 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,880 better. Their IQ is just undeniably 1176 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,920 better. So if you're a big baseball guy, 1177 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,520 you know, and he's like, I'm talking about even when he's 1178 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,400 like 3-4 years old, I would say yeah, but you want to keep it 1179 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,920 fun, I would say, all right, you know, hey, 2O, what do you think 1180 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,640 this pitch is going to? And then you change your tone as 1181 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:48,720 they get older. Hey, what do you think this 1182 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,440 pitch is going to throw? You think he's going to throw a 1183 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,560 fastball or And wasn't always right early on, obviously. 1184 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:59,040 But then as we talked more and more and more now, and now it's 1185 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,880 like, you know, I'm sitting there with my 11 year olds. 1186 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,200 We going low outside, we going up. 1187 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,720 And what do you think? What would you do here? 1188 00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:08,080 You know, and you could do that stuff or, you know, St. 1189 00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:12,440 John's is up by X amount of points with 37 seconds to go or 1190 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,480 they're down three. You know, hey, you don't have to 1191 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,880 go for three here, right? Would you go for three or go for 1192 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,320 a quick two? If they give it to you, hey, 1193 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,760 it's a lot of time left. And if you get the wrong answer, 1194 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,520 and in my mind, the right answer would be go for the quick two, 1195 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,240 foul, extend the game, whatever, unless you have a great shooter 1196 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,880 and he's wide open. You explain that and, and, and 1197 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,560 their ability to decipher #1 what they're watching. 1198 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:34,720 And then if they really do become athletes and they love it 1199 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,720 and they've got a little bit of talent, whatever, and they stick 1200 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,120 with it, you're going to see that translate on the field. 1201 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:44,520 But I that that's my best advice And, and the other obvious piece 1202 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:49,320 of advice is enjoy it, man, because it goes so freaking 1203 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,240 fast. Matter of fact, it's funny. 1204 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,000 I'll show you this here. This is funny, man. 1205 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,920 One of the things about Facebook, I love it, but it's 1206 00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,160 also, I don't know if the pressing is the right word, but 1207 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,960 I'm aware of it, right. So, you know, you see these 1208 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:10,760 Facebook memories and they pop up and one of one popped up with 1209 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:16,440 my daughter yesterday and it it actually happens to be my all 1210 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,720 time favorite picture of her. And there's a million of them, 1211 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,520 right? And this is she is now, I don't 1212 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,680 know if you can really see it with the light, right? 1213 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,320 Right. That was when she came to my 1214 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,160 office and mommy had her all dressed up for school. 1215 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:32,640 She's probably about 3, right? And that, and then, and I love 1216 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,240 it and it warms my heart. And I look at it, you know, and 1217 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:39,000 I think what I think, but then you're like, man, time's flying. 1218 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,040 Like, you know, that's the other thing. 1219 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,360 Like just try to impress upon you. 1220 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,240 There's nothing I can say. Like, you know how many times I 1221 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,200 heard, Hey, it goes fast, enjoy it. 1222 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,800 And, and, and I really try to, but then life gets busy and I 1223 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:51,880 do, and so does my wife. The time gets busy. 1224 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,800 And as they get older, it's like you're coming home from school. 1225 00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,880 Got to get the homework done, got to get to practice, got to 1226 00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,120 suck down dinner, got to read, you know, they got to brush your 1227 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,800 teeth, got to shower, got to say your prayers, got to get ready. 1228 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:04,680 Like, oh, it's this day at school. 1229 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,160 Got to have this outfit out. The busyness and the noise 1230 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:12,240 almost doesn't allow you to enjoy it every single second. 1231 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,920 It sounds great when you tweet it or you just put it out on 1232 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,000 Facebook and or when I tell you enjoy every moment, but it's 1233 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,520 very hard to do that. And then this one popped up of 1234 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,360 him yesterday. This is when he had to be. 1235 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,000 I think he was two or three, right? 1236 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,920 You're going to love this chase. So this is like two or three 1237 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,160 years old, right? And last night we're playing 1238 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:32,680 spring basketball for the first time. 1239 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,000 And, you know, we usually, we always played during the winter, 1240 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,440 but he started taking more seriously. 1241 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,160 So I'm like, all right, we can juggle with baseball. 1242 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,480 And then this is last night. Look at the difference. 1243 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,120 He's wearing the wet. Look at the difference now. 1244 01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,840 Yeah, we, we show up to play a I mean, I don't know why he's on 1245 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,440 the inside position against that monster, but they he's in the 1246 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,080 5th grade and, and his travel team, they put together a spring 1247 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,040 team and he's like, yeah, one player. 1248 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,120 I want to get some reps I'm absolutely let's feed it, man, 1249 01:00:58,120 --> 01:00:59,960 let's play. So they had their first game 1250 01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:02,160 land and the coach is great. He knows a lot of the boys play 1251 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,880 baseball, lacrosse. So there's very few practices. 1252 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,720 If you can't make it all good, you're not going to get 1253 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,320 penalized. And he's trying. 1254 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,720 He tries to coordinate the games when most of the boys are free. 1255 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,440 So last night we only had five kids because kids are a couple 1256 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,600 of our vacation for the holiday and then one one of the kids is 1257 01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,200 sick anyway, it's a so not only do we only have five guys or 1258 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,800 five, five fifth graders, we go, we're playing a 6th grade team 1259 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,040 and look at this. I mean, that dude was huge. 1260 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,000 He's taller than me. Probably he. 1261 01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,280 He was big and they were good, very skilled, very big and we 1262 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:33,960 were winning. I don't coach so I say we, but 1263 01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,640 they were winning at the half, right? 1264 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,520 And then and, and it was like, Nah, we were up by about 6:00 or 1265 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,040 seven, really playing tough, really playing well. 1266 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,880 And then they dropped the full court press on us and they 1267 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,160 started banging some threes. They could. 1268 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,840 They were a really good team and we lost by about 8:00 or 9:00. 1269 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,000 So proud of him though. And that's that. 1270 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,320 That's one thing coach goes, we had to the game, He goes, we got 1271 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,840 to work on a full court press. That's not because they don't, 1272 01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:58,360 because you don't really see that. 1273 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,320 Like there's some rules which I agree with. 1274 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:03,760 I think 6th grade obviously is when you can really start 1275 01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,000 pressing full court. Like in fifth grade, you can do 1276 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,120 it within a minute if you're like, you know, rec and travel. 1277 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,280 But think about this. If you have a team and all they 1278 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,720 do is press you and you've got a superior group of athletes, the 1279 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,880 other teams never going to learn how to get the ball up and 1280 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:18,040 initiate the hamper court office. 1281 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,480 So it's a good rule. But in this league, which which 1282 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,640 is a pretty decent league, there's no rule like that. 1283 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,360 So they just started. Picking them up and press. 1284 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,520 Battle to get the ball in bounds dude. 1285 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,880 So my point is, time goes fast. Enjoy it and God bless. 1286 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:30,920 That's great. That's great. 1287 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,760 What else do I have here, Jay? Oh, you know what, Give me some 1288 01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:38,120 Yankee things up there too. And I want to get into that as 1289 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,560 well.

There's a lot of confusion for 1292 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,360 something that I think is pretty blatantly straightforward. 1293 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,720 Well, this is all.

Oh my God. 1313 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,520 Well, that would happen a lot in in radio too. 1314 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,200 Like when you do a giveaway, you do a contest. 1315 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,320 Like say, there's been so many contests, I can't even think of 1316 01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,640 one right now.

Guys. 1332 01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,720 Not that hard man. Alright, this one's from our 1333 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,480 expected dad there. I appreciate it more than you 1334 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,200 know. BT last thing is it cruel to 1335 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:45,600 make of a Jets fan like his father? 1336 01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:47,600 You the man 100%. He's a Jets fan. 1337 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,360 And the discussion and the discussion, I don't want to hear 1338 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,960 about that. That is a non discussion point. 1339 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:59,520 The only way, the only way it is a discussion point is if you are 1340 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:04,560 married to somebody who is a devout, no devout fan of another 1341 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,560 team. All right, then you got to 1342 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:07,760 figure it out amongst yourselves. 1343 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:11,920 And my wife's a Texas girl, massive Cowboys fan, loves him, 1344 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,600 always has so. And she wants The Jets to do 1345 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,000 well. And they usually play at 1346 01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,280 different times because the Cowboys are usually on national 1347 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,280 TV and we watch him as a family. And I want the Cowboys to win. 1348 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,200 I'm not dying and living and dying with the Cowboys. 1349 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,160 I can do The Jets. And she's not living and dying 1350 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:26,360 with The Jets like she does Dallas. 1351 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,800 But you know, we we make it a family thing. 1352 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:33,120 She'll make tacos, whatever. So I would say that again, you 1353 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:34,360 got to figure that out amongst yourselves. 1354 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,360 What we did was, and we have a picture of this where maybe I 1355 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,960 think it was Ezekiel Elliott. We had these, you know, because 1356 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,000 when, when, when the baby was born, we got a bunch of little 1357 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:49,920 jerseys and we put both of the jerseys on the floor. 1 was Zeke 1358 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,280 Cowboys blue and one was Eric Decker. 1359 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,920 Eric Decker, wide receiver, formerly the Broncos, but also 1360 01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,360 The Jets, right? And we put like, all right, Nah, 1361 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:00,880 unless he's gonna be Jets fan no matter what. 1362 01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,080 But I'm like, God, let this just figure, let, let, let, let you 1363 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:04,480 know. Let's, let's play the game. 1364 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:05,680 Let's go along with the charade here. 1365 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,400 And he's crawling in these little fat, chubby legs. 1366 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,160 Probably it may have been 8-9 months here. 1367 01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,680 It was a baby. And he goes, well, there was a 1368 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,120 moment of pause, actually moment of pause. 1369 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,360 Then he goes to The Jets 1 and then it was a wrap. 1370 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,160 It was official. Would have been a Jets fan 1371 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,040 anyway. But so again, play the game. 1372 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,200 I think that and she happens to be a Yankees fan as well, so 1373 01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:29,640 that's easy. That was never an issue with 1374 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:30,640 that. And she's not a big bass boy. 1375 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:32,160 Oh, she does like The Mavericks a little bit. 1376 01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:36,200 And because she used to say she, she got to know Rick Carlisle 1377 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,600 pretty well because when he was the head coach, she was selling 1378 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,640 for ESPN out there anyway. So she wanted to see them do 1379 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,360 well for business. And she's from Dallas and, and 1380 01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,040 it's all good. But I would say this, I I've 1381 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,400 heard that a lot and I've been asked that a lot. 1382 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:50,960 Like, dude, you know, and some of it's just like a little 1383 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,920 hyperbole, like am I gonna really, you know, child like you 1384 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,400 hear child abuse, like, you know, I hate to marginalized 1385 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,360 child abuse. God, but you hear that, you 1386 01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,400 know, child abuse, making my son a Jets fan or a Browns fan or, 1387 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,160 you know, before Cohen came here, a Mets fan, whatever it 1388 01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,800 might be, you know, the teams that, you know, you really don't 1389 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:08,160 want to be a fan of that. You are. 1390 01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:15,960 And I, I look at it this way, think about, and this even 1391 01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,800 applies to those of you who are died in the Wolf fan, say of The 1392 01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,240 Jets, because that, that came up and like, hey, should I tap out? 1393 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,160 Like, I don't know how anybody could tap out unless you were 1394 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:26,680 just 1/2 assed Jets fan to begin with. 1395 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:30,040 Like if you're a real Jets fan, I know it's misery. 1396 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,280 If you're a real Browns fan, it's miserable. 1397 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,720 If you're a Cardinals fan, it is miserable. 1398 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,880 Not that there's a ton of Marlins fans out there, but if 1399 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,440 you're a Marlins fan, man, it's bleak right now being a Twins 1400 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,200 fan or being a White Sox fan. Brutal, man, even being a 1401 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,280 Dolphins fan. Think about their, you know, 1402 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,560 their rode the last 30 years, whatever it's been, you know, 1403 01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,680 post, post Danny Marino. So there's a lot of teams like 1404 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,800 that all those years being a Knicks fan. 1405 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,840 Now imagine if you would have no, they're not going to win the 1406 01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,600 championship this year, but imagine tapping out and saying, 1407 01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,520 you know what? I can't stomach it anymore. 1408 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:06,160 I'm going to root for the Heat because, you know, LeBron went 1409 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,680 there or the Cavs because I like LeBron or and, and now, even 1410 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:11,800 though they won't win it this year. 1411 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,760 But imagine when the Knicks do win and you're sitting there and 1412 01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,319 you're watching the NBA Finals and you kind of tapped out and 1413 01:08:17,319 --> 01:08:19,200 there's just like, how are you going to react? 1414 01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:21,680 So imagine that. Imagine. 1415 01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:23,399 And I can't tell you what year it's going to be. 1416 01:08:23,399 --> 01:08:25,319 I can't even promise you that it's ever going to happen. 1417 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,920 But if and when it does happen, you've got to be prepared for 1418 01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:32,279 that moment because the amount of internal regret that you 1419 01:08:32,279 --> 01:08:35,520 would have as a sports fan would be incalculable. 1420 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,279 It really would be, imagine sitting on the couch, you know, 1421 01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:43,680 whether he's 8 or 18 or, you know, 23 and he's back home or 1422 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,359 or 20 and he's back home from college or she's back home from 1423 01:08:46,359 --> 01:08:51,120 college or, I don't know, 27 years old and he's not married 1424 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,520 yet, but he's got an apartment in the city or wherever he's 1425 01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,680 living right on Wall Street, and he comes home for the weekend. 1426 01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,800 Get some of mom's cooking. Jets are played a big game and 1427 01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,319 you tapped out and you or you let him tap out or you didn't 1428 01:09:02,319 --> 01:09:05,840 make him a Jets fan. And he's a fan of, I don't know, 1429 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,080 the Chiefs because when he's four years old in a couple of 1430 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,479 years, like he still loves Mahomes or he likes Mahomes. 1431 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:14,479 And then when he comes home when he's 27, The Jets are in the AFC 1432 01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,560 championship game. Where's that bond? 1433 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:18,399 Like where where is that connection? 1434 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,399 You know, I remember this year he actually said to me, he goes, 1435 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,200 this is week one against the Steelers. 1436 01:09:26,319 --> 01:09:28,600 I don't blame him because at least I got to see Rex. 1437 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,040 He hadn't even seen anything like that. 1438 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:34,920 He has seen Gase and he has seen ugly Salva stuff and he saw 1439 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,279 whatever the hell you want to call last year, you know, with 1440 01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:40,920 Aaron Glenn, that circus. So he goes, he goes that he 1441 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,240 goes, he's like, he didn't really mean it because he's got 1442 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:47,720 good spirit. He's like, can we just root for 1443 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,880 a different team? And I was sitting here and he 1444 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:50,840 was sitting there and I looked at him. 1445 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,680 I said, are you nuts? I said, come on, man. 1446 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:55,240 As you know, that's not how we're built. 1447 01:09:55,640 --> 01:10:00,320 And I feel literally, if, if it wasn't the, I'm not just making 1448 01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:06,120 this up, it wasn't if it wasn't the next play, it was 2 plays 1449 01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,760 after that. Justin Fields threw that sick 1450 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,320 touchdown, I don't know, 40 yards, whatever. 1451 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,760 It was like the only good throw we had all year. 1452 01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,440 And I'm like, you see, that's why we're going to stick with 1453 01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:18,160 The Jets because they lose the game. 1454 01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,960 And then, yeah, they come back and they block a punt against 1455 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,560 the Bucks. They lose the game, you know, 1456 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,560 looking good against Miami and fumble at the one, lose the 1457 01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,000 game, get squashed by the Bills, get squashed by the Cowboys, 1458 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,400 give up the most points in NFL history in December. 1459 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:33,800 Maybe I should have listened to him. 1460 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,200 All right, what does this say here? 1461 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,080 Happy hoping. Hoping Warren keeps up the 1462 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:39,800 trend. The good start. 1463 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,080 Yeah. I like Will Warren. 1464 01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,240 I mean, listen, it's not like he went, he put he go 4 2/3. 1465 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,280 Let's not go nuts here. Will Warren's got good stuff. 1466 01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:48,800 I think he's got good swing and miss stuff. 1467 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,000 I think he's going to be a pretty good strikeout guy. 1468 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,040 And, you know, if he can incrementally improve, which 1469 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:57,560 most young players do, I think that Will Warren could be a back 1470 01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:01,520 of the rotation, really solid back of the rotation starter for 1471 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,280 a long time. You know, I really do. 1472 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,760 Charlie. F6675 school's got a year left 1473 01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,600 and Boris will have them. Absolutely can hit free agency 1474 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,240 to maximize that money that he can get. 1475 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:15,440 No way you give up a probable future ace and Schlittler for a 1476 01:11:15,440 --> 01:11:17,520 year of school. But yeah, no, that's obvious. 1477 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:18,360 Charlie. I appreciate that. 1478 01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,320 But I've also taken a step further. 1479 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:23,000 Even if I knew that they were getting schooled with an 1480 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:24,880 extension, which Boris will not let that happen. 1481 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,720 So you're right there. But I'm just saying, just to 1482 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:30,600 prove to you, to communicate to you how much I believe in Cam 1483 01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:34,600 and all the monetary factors, which also matters when trying 1484 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,080 to, you know, project what the Yanks will be, their payroll and 1485 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,280 how aggressive they'll be and how much wiggle room they'll 1486 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,360 have to eventually fill out some of these other positions here 1487 01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,520 because they don't develop position players are gonna have 1488 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,920 to buy some because McMahon ain't going to be around a long 1489 01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:48,840 time, probably gonna have a new shortstop. 1490 01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:50,920 They're not going to extend jazz Chism, trust me. 1491 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,320 You know, Grisham's here one year, probably gone, all right, 1492 01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,280 Belly's here a couple of years. Judge is getting old. 1493 01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,640 I do think Ben Rice will be the first baseman for a long time. 1494 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,400 And I don't know about Austin Wells and Stanton's, you know, 1495 01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,080 he's having a great start, but he's getting older. 1496 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:10,480 So, you know, with if there's $700 million in school and you 1497 01:12:10,480 --> 01:12:12,040 get rid of Schlittler, all right, great. 1498 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:13,720 You're going to have a really good staff because you're not 1499 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,320 Freed and Warren and and Camp and and Caloric Schmidt. 1500 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,400 But who's playing the field? What's the batting order look 1501 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:25,520 like as judge ages out? You know, will you come out with 1502 01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,240 another list soon like you did with the old time Yankee lineup? 1503 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,720 Yes, actually what I did and I haven't divulged it yet. 1504 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,240 I've actually got it. I'm I'm I'm looking at it on my 1505 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,640 desktop here. So for those of you who missed 1506 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,360 it, and if you new to the channel, I'm sure you did go 1507 01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,120 back search the channel. I did a video. 1508 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,600 It's only about what? What, Jay? 1509 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,280 About 17 or 18 minutes in length, right? 1510 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:47,760 Something like that. Which one? 1511 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:49,760 The old time Yankee lot of that I did. 1512 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:50,800 Yeah, yeah. Shorter. 1513 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,400 It's not like a long 2 hour show. 1514 01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,520 Little quick pop, right? So I did my old time Yankee 1515 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,520 lineup from post 1980, all the players I saw. 1516 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,800 And I also did one for the New York Mets post 1980, all the 1517 01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,080 players I saw. Now I also have another one 1518 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:08,600 where I fused the Yankee names and the Met names and I put 1519 01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,480 together my old time New York baseball lineup post 80 1520 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,560 encompassing Yankees and Mets. So I did that. 1521 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:15,480 I haven't. I haven't. 1522 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:19,280 I haven't done, I've got the graphic, I've got all the stats. 1523 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:20,680 I haven't actually done the video. 1524 01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:22,640 I'm going to do that fairly soon. 1525 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:24,920 And I also did the my old time Big East team. 1526 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:26,320 So there's some other content by the way. 1527 01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,480 And also if you missed the chat with Stephen A, which was 1528 01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:30,440 phenomenal. Hey, we made some national news 1529 01:13:30,440 --> 01:13:31,320 out of that. Did you see? 1530 01:13:31,480 --> 01:13:35,800 Yeah, the Bear Media. Yeah, and also awful announcing 1531 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,520 wrote about it. Let's go. 1532 01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,360 Yeah, he was phenomenal, man. Check it out. 1533 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:41,960 I know it was a couple of days ago. 1534 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:43,120 Many of you have already seen it. 1535 01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,880 If you have not, make sure you go check it out like it's up and 1536 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,400 all that other stuff. All right, now, I don't want to 1537 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:53,360 make a big deal out of this. He's getting a little bit of 1538 01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:54,320 heat. Nothing where he's going to get 1539 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,080 in trouble, nor should he. But because Gary Cohen really 1540 01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:58,760 need to trash the city of Saint Louis. 1541 01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:00,600 I, I don't know what that accomplishes now. 1542 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,600 Todd Zeal was in the booth and I think Keith's back is jacked up 1543 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,320 right. And they had a shot of downtown 1544 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,000 Saint Louis. I've been to Saint Louis for a 1545 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,880 couple of Final Fours, I think. I think the first one was in 1546 01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,120 2004. And then Tiki and I, when we 1547 01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,400 were doing the national show, Saint Louis was, was one of our 1548 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,920 many affiliates. We had about 200 affiliates and 1549 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,960 Saint Louis was one of them. And we did a live show out in 1550 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,000 Saint Louis. I've been to Saint Louis a 1551 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,440 couple times, right? I also was in the state of 1552 01:14:26,440 --> 01:14:30,640 Missouri my junior year of high school during that summer, 1553 01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:34,480 playing on a, on a, on a club team managed by Ron Hunt, the 1554 01:14:34,480 --> 01:14:37,000 former Met and Expo. So I was out in Missouri the 1555 01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,960 entire summer and we went to a couple of Cardinals games. 1556 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,080 Anyway, I got love for say, I've got love for every American 1557 01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:45,240 city, right? And as we've seen, whether it's 1558 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:49,800 Oakland, there's been a revitalization in Detroit, which 1559 01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:56,320 is great, but Detroit, elements of Baltimore, you know, DC's got 1560 01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,400 some rundown areas. I mean, it's, it's, it's tough. 1561 01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,120 I mean, not every, not every cities and states flourish. 1562 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:02,640 I'm not turning this politically or political. 1563 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:03,920 I'm just telling you it is what it is. 1564 01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,080 I always like, I'm never going to take a shot of the city. 1565 01:15:07,480 --> 01:15:09,680 And I don't even think that Gary was trying to do that. 1566 01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,120 I, I don't, but he's here's the quote. 1567 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,760 So they show the, the image and it's downtown Saint Louis. 1568 01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,920 I don't know if it was the arch, which, which is pretty cool when 1569 01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:20,360 you stand under it, which, which I did. 1570 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,160 I mean, if you go to Saint Louis, you don't go see the 1571 01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:23,120 arts. I don't know where you're going 1572 01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:24,920 to see. I mean, I don't really know, 1573 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,760 don't know what's there at that point, you know, but it's, it's 1574 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,000 in a rough spot. All right, The Cardinals aren't 1575 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:32,800 good. Their attendance is very down 1576 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,880 last couple of years. That used to be a place where 1577 01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,920 synonymous with undeniable, you know, fan connection. 1578 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,960 Now, Cardinals were usually good, but even when they weren't 1579 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,760 like that place was popping like a lot of people over the like 1580 01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,920 most of my lifetime, I've actually heard Cardinals fans, 1581 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,840 the best fans in baseball. I've heard that a lot that has 1582 01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:54,880 changed. Not that the die hard Cardinal 1583 01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,840 fans aren't still rooting for them or still going, but the 1584 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,640 numbers have diminished and a lot of people have left the city 1585 01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:03,480 independent of actually going to games, right. 1586 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,640 So they show the shot. Not a lot of people walk in the 1587 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,760 streets. And here's the quote from Gary 1588 01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,120 Cohn quote. There's never anybody walking 1589 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,560 around downtown Saint Louis. Remember the old neutron bomb 1590 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,440 that wouldn't knock down buildings, but would just 1591 01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:20,680 eliminate all the people. It's like one of those hit Saint 1592 01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:24,080 Louis. That's just, that's just a bad 1593 01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,800 reference right there. A bomb reference. 1594 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:31,480 I, I get the point, but Gary's a really smart guy. 1595 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,480 And because of his intelligence, the neutron bomb and and knowing 1596 01:16:35,480 --> 01:16:39,240 how it didn't knock down the buildings, which is true, it 1597 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:40,760 only took down took out the people. 1598 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,520 He knows that. And there's a lot of historical 1599 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:48,320 polls that Garrett can reach for, But you don't do it there, 1600 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,640 especially when we're when we're, you know, bombing Iran. 1601 01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,600 I just it's not. I would hope that he would want 1602 01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,960 a Mulligan and though he shouldn't get in trouble. 1603 01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,320 And Gary said Gary has said some things on the air over the 1604 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:02,840 years. He's he's gotten political, 1605 01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:04,880 which I don't appreciate. I don't think there's a need for 1606 01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,720 it, even if you believe what you would. 1607 01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:10,920 And I, I'm sure he does. But when you alienate, I mean, 1608 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,520 it's one thing. I don't even do it on this show. 1609 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,600 And it's my show, all right. But if you're a broadcaster, 1610 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:21,000 like if you're Michael Kay doing the Yankees or you're Gary doing 1611 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:25,320 the Mets or you're Mike Breen doing the Knicks, why in the 1612 01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:30,040 world would you ever put out anything espousing something 1613 01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:36,160 negative that, you know, if it's not 50%, it's 46 percent, 44 1614 01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:40,960 percent, 49 percent, 52% of your audience, like, why would you do 1615 01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:42,160 that? And that wasn't yesterday. 1616 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:47,320 But Gary has done this a couple of times and I just, I don't 1617 01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,120 think he needs to do it. You know, Saint Louis is is 1618 01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,680 really hurting. And by the way, you know, maybe 1619 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,280 Gary wouldn't be offended, But if I was a Mets fan, I would get 1620 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:57,960 a little territorial, like I would perk up. 1621 01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,000 You know how easy it is. Now, I know they're building up 1622 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,760 the area around around City Field and I love City Field, but 1623 01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,360 the area, I mean, if you're looking for rims, if you're 1624 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:07,440 looking for stolen rims, you're looking for something for the 1625 01:18:07,440 --> 01:18:09,080 car. I mean, you got a million chop 1626 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:10,320 shops. I mean, you think it's 1627 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,040 aesthetically pretty around City Field. 1628 01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:14,920 It's an absolute shit hole and it's been that way for a long 1629 01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:18,960 time, you know, So I, I mean, Gary, you're not doing games in, 1630 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:22,520 in San Francisco along the Embarcadero, you know, with, 1631 01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:26,520 with views of Mccovey's Cove and the Bay Bridge and the Golden 1632 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:30,320 Gate Bridge and Alcatraz and Sonoma and all these beautiful 1633 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,680 vineyards and golf courses that you're doing games in Queens. 1634 01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:35,800 I got love for Queens. Don't take that the wrong way, 1635 01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,200 but just kind of look around your own stadium. 1636 01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,800 It's changing now, didn't I? Didn't I don't know why he would 1637 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,680 say that. You know, if it was like a joke. 1638 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,520 No, that is it's pretty messed up. 1639 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,080 I didn't. Or at least it comes off as very 1640 01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:54,000 like guy speaking from his towers. 1641 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,960 A little bit little bit little insensitive, little dismissive. 1642 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,600 Yep, Yep, Yep. Think about this. 1643 01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,680 I was doing some research, so in the early and this, this has 1644 01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,000 happened to a lot of American cities. 1645 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,720 That's why I said this like, I love American history. 1646 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,520 I'm not going to bombard you guys with it, but I love it. 1647 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,760 And having lived in San Francisco for the two years that 1648 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,080 we did, I spent a lot of time in Oakland because the Warriors 1649 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,200 were still playing at Oracle Arena, which was right next to 1650 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,360 the Coliseum. And, you know, we'd go to some 1651 01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,920 A's games, went to basically a lot of Raider games as well. 1652 01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:24,880 So I, I got to know the Bay Area a little bit. 1653 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,080 And parts of it, you know, are beautiful, like when I went out 1654 01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:32,360 to Cal Berkeley and incredible like Walnut Creek, incredibly 1655 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:35,600 affluent, totally different climate than San Francisco with 1656 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,640 the marine layer generally 10 to 12° warmer, sunnier. 1657 01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:43,440 Like I, I played some beautiful, beautiful golf courses. 1658 01:19:43,440 --> 01:19:46,040 Of course, I played like shit like I do everywhere, but I 1659 01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:50,640 played some gorgeous golf. The one was in San Jose, I think 1660 01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,760 it was San Jose, Wendy Wente Vineyards. 1661 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:58,040 And it was, it was a golf course that was built and woven within 1662 01:19:58,040 --> 01:19:59,560 a vineyard. I think I mentioned this to you. 1663 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,600 So like when you hit an errand shot guilty. 1664 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,200 You know, if it was incredibly errant guilty, you would go and 1665 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,240 find if it was still findable. And then if not, I'd just throw 1666 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:09,480 it down. Maybe I'd take a penalty shot, 1667 01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:11,480 maybe I don't whatever. I'm not playing for money As for 1668 01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:13,280 sure moving here. Have some fun. 1669 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,280 But like you would a couple times I would and I wouldn't go 1670 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:17,960 in the vineyard 'cause I didn't, I don't want to step on the 1671 01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,200 grapes or anything. But there were like bowls that 1672 01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,600 were like, you know, you got the fairway, you got, you got the 1673 01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,520 first cut, then you got, you know, then you got the rough, 1674 01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:25,800 then you got pretty much out of play. 1675 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,920 And if it was like on the fringe, like I was literally 1676 01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:33,160 picking golf balls mine or if I found some because I lost a lot 1677 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:34,800 and I always do. If I find the ball, I'm keeping 1678 01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,800 it right next to right, right within a vineyard. 1679 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:41,080 So absolutely gorgeous dude. Went through a couple of the San 1680 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,240 Jose Shark games. But the, but the point of that 1681 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,280 is, is that if you know, the history of, of Oakland and not 1682 01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:52,480 just losing teams, but at one point Oakland, like Detroit was 1683 01:20:52,480 --> 01:20:57,200 a thriving American city. Like from an industrial point of 1684 01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:58,600 view. And, and, and, and, and 1685 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,000 different things impacted both areas. 1686 01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:04,080 Like Detroit was more about the riots, you know, in the late 1687 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,680 60s, an incredible amount of racial tension, just horrible 1688 01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:09,320 stuff, man. That really drove a lot of 1689 01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,840 people the way and, and they've recovered a little bit. 1690 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,000 Obviously the automobile industry is, is, is different 1691 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:17,240 now, but not to go into some massive commentary. 1692 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,560 The point is, I, I don't, I don't really feel the need to, 1693 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,960 to say that. And you know, I don't know, it's 1694 01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:27,280 just, it's not not fireable. I'm not, I'm not looking to 1695 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,480 start trouble. I don't know Gary incredibly 1696 01:21:29,480 --> 01:21:31,600 well. Every time I see him, Saint John 1697 01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,520 Seton Hall always say hi. Quite frankly, doesn't seem 1698 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,720 incredibly interested to have a long conversation. 1699 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,440 He doesn't, you know, he's not that. 1700 01:21:38,440 --> 01:21:42,160 He's just not, you know, he's just not that kind of guy to me. 1701 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,320 I'm sure maybe his inner circle, I don't know, Maybe I'm not as 1702 01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:46,640 smart as him. Maybe he can go to. 1703 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:48,040 I'm not sure what Gary thinks about me. 1704 01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:50,640 I really don't care. But I've got respect for him and 1705 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:52,360 I'm not trying to bury him here at all. 1706 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,840 But you don't say that and you don't say that because and he's 1707 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:59,480 smart enough to know this, that the Saint Louis's population in 1708 01:21:59,480 --> 01:22:03,720 the 1950s and he's on post World War 2, you know, the greatest 1709 01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:05,840 generation, the factories, everybody pumping. 1710 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:09,120 You can actually buy a home and not be buried in debt. 1711 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:14,720 But don't get me going. But it was nearly 900,000 people 1712 01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,560 in the city in the like the inner limits of Saint Louis. 1713 01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:19,320 That's how many residents they have. 1714 01:22:19,480 --> 01:22:21,920 You know what it is now from 900,000. 1715 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,200 Basically one. Is it like 8 mil now? 1716 01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:26,400 No. No 900. 1717 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:27,520 No. No, Think about it. 1718 01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:31,960 Saint Louis, the city, 900,000 people were there thriving in 1719 01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,200 the 1950s. What do you think the number is 1720 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,080 now? I was going to say 5 million. 1721 01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:39,880 About 280 No, you go in the wrong direction. 1722 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:41,760 Wait, you're saying there's less people? 1723 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:43,640 Yes, that was. Wait, there's less people 1724 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,560 thriving or there's less people in general? 1725 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:48,160 Everything I think. I think it goes. 1726 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,200 Oh, interesting. Well, Jake, I thought you were 1727 01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:52,840 saying that there was like more people. 1728 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:57,560 So it's caused like a like a like a desert, like a wasteland 1729 01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,000 of resources. OK, I could see why you would 1730 01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:01,720 think that. No, Interesting, but the 1731 01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:03,560 completely wrong direction. I see. 1732 01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:04,960 So you're saying so people are out? 1733 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,960 They left. I mean, business is like kind of 1734 01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:09,400 like New York too. I mean, it's not that different 1735 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:13,000 than just a lot more people here, 900,000 people in 19 in 1736 01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:18,360 the 1950s, it's down to 280,000 people, 280,000 people. 1737 01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:20,520 In the entire city. Yes. 1738 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,000 Are you talking about 600,000 mass exodus of? 1739 01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,360 People and that's not I mean, obviously it's still a city, but 1740 01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,520 like you compare that to even other. 1741 01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,600 Major cities, but it's as big as it's as big as I'll give you. 1742 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:34,840 I'll give you geographical perspective. 1743 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,240 If you're in the Northeast and you, it's as big as Newark. 1744 01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,040 There are as many people in Newark as there are in Saint 1745 01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:41,640 Louis. Think about that. 1746 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:43,680 Yeah. So anyway, I again, I don't 1747 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,720 think Gary was trying to. I don't think he was trying to 1748 01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,960 be insensitive. I think he was trying to be 1749 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:51,880 witty or I, I don't know. I'm going to give him the 1750 01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,600 benefit of the doubt, but it wasn't funny and it wasn't 1751 01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,480 witty. And by the way, you know, 1752 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:01,800 whether it's Queens or, you know, whether you Gary, just 1753 01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:05,240 open your eyes in New York City, it smells like weed. 1754 01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:08,040 It smells like piss. And people are leaving New York 1755 01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:10,360 as well. Like we're not sitting here on 1756 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:14,520 some beautiful tropical island with coconuts and, you know, I 1757 01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:17,120 mean, and and and and and hanging out in the cabana by the 1758 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,600 pool, you know, working the grill every day. 1759 01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:21,400 Where? What was a parking lot? 1760 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,280 Like it's literally just a parking lot and some cross 1761 01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:26,840 streets. There's no beautiful residential 1762 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,640 area around that. It's literally OK, here's a big 1763 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,520 parking lot. You walk for like 10 minutes 1764 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:34,720 around the left and get to the side Coliseum thing. 1765 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,080 Like it's not beautiful. What? 1766 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,880 And I mean, obviously people live in this city, but like no 1767 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:44,760 one lives around that area. Really not Really not not in the 1768 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:45,560 direct. Facility. 1769 01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:47,280 No, no. It's going to be beautiful as it 1770 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,040 builds up. But what do we got? 1771 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:53,880 Absolute Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck's Double Chin, 4170. 1772 01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:55,240 Does he have a double chin? It depends. 1773 01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:56,840 His weight fluctuates a little bit, Ben. 1774 01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,840 Maybe in a what's a what's a movie where he. 1775 01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:01,160 Was he's been in so much in movies? 1776 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:06,760 Well what was the bad one? GG with with God with Lopez, not 1777 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,240 Geely Gee, was that it? Hustlers. 1778 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,680 No, he's been in so many. God, he was been in so many. 1779 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:14,680 Ben, I love Ben Affleck's movies. 1780 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,560 Yeah, man, I really do pop up a few as we're looking at this. 1781 01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:20,320 Yo, BT Bay Area misses you. Oh, wow. 1782 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,320 There you go. There's some people listen to us 1783 01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:23,200 out there. Yeah. 1784 01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:24,640 I was doing a show with Eric Davis. 1785 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:26,840 I don't know. I'm certainly not a goaton. 1786 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:28,200 I'm not a goat anywhere, but thank you. 1787 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,480 E DS considered a goat by some. He actually picked off Troy 1788 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,640 Aikman in the NFC Championship game that brought the Niners to 1789 01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,120 the Super Bowl. So that was my partner doing 1790 01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:40,200 drive time out there. Oh my God this dude has a wild 1791 01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:42,680 profile picture too. I don't know if you saw it. 1792 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,440 I didn't see it. It was like a pumpkin, but it 1793 01:25:45,440 --> 01:25:47,840 was like a pumpkin shaped like a butt. 1794 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:51,720 Like, sorry to be a little crass here. 1795 01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:53,600 Oh no, dude, no. That's so offensive. 1796 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:58,000 We can't possibly have that. What do we got here, ma'am? 1797 01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:00,040 At. In at. 1798 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,200 Edwin Edwin Robles. Jeez. 1799 01:26:02,480 --> 01:26:04,240 I wish, you know, that's where I wish there was a little space or 1800 01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,800 a little hyphen. Edwin Robles, 6016. 1801 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,360 What up, man? So put that up again. 1802 01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:15,160 Oh wait, yeah, my bad. Yeah, I did see him throughout 1803 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,160 the first pitch at Yankee Stadium when he short hopped the 1804 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,520 pitcher. I I think if I remember that. 1805 01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,400 Thank you for that. I remember. 1806 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,880 Did he have a Yankee jersey on or a jacket? 1807 01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,720 I think it was a summer night, so I don't believe it was the 1808 01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,040 blue Yankee jacket. I believe he went out there with 1809 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,080 a jersey. Stephen A wasn't a baseball 1810 01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,560 player. Stephen A was a basketball 1811 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:36,800 basketball player. Thomas Jefferson High School 1812 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:38,680 played a little bit in college as well. 1813 01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:42,920 And his but, but you know, I've never seen him shoot. 1814 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,520 But I know, I know we can shoot because I because I've seen 1815 01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:46,960 people. I know people will play with 1816 01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:48,800 them. And I asked him, I'm like, yeah, 1817 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,680 you ever you ever dunk 1? Did we believe him with that? 1818 01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:54,920 He wasn't exactly OK. I believe he yeah, listen, I 1819 01:26:54,920 --> 01:27:00,240 believe he's done A1 handed rim Grazer a little 2 handed, but in 1820 01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:03,280 terms of a back scratcher this I don't. 1821 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:05,560 Know no I. Don't believe that we used 1822 01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,600 especially back in the day too. Like I don't know if like the 1823 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:12,680 idea of a back scratching dunk was really conceptualized. 1824 01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:14,280 Well, he definitely wasn't doing that. 1825 01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,520 I'm just wondering if he ever really even squeaked it down 1826 01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:18,960 like he said he did. That's what we used to call it. 1827 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,400 Like if you, if you, if you really put one that was a 1828 01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:22,800 squeaker. I squeaked it home. 1829 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:24,080 Ah, squeaker. You got it. 1830 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,400 See, for us, for us slow white guys, I'm going to give you my 1831 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:30,760 version of the dunk. And I love doing this, man. 1832 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,880 Yeah, it was fun, especially in the park because the metal 1833 01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,040 backboards little. Clap Oh the. 1834 01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,400 Slab little clap, did you were you ever able to dunk? 1835 01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,400 I could dunk. No, no, no, no. 1836 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,080 OK, what I could do? I could dunk a obviously a 1837 01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:46,160 tennis ball. Yeah. 1838 01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:51,840 And when I was in college, there were, yeah, at Maris, we had 1839 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,000 this big, big, it's called McCann Arena. 1840 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,600 And everybody, like everybody would work out in there. 1841 01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:58,440 Like, obviously that's where the basketball games would be, but 1842 01:27:58,440 --> 01:28:00,640 that's where we would get ready for the baseball season. 1843 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:02,880 And volleyball would use that as well. 1844 01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:05,120 So sometimes it'd be a volleyball laying around the 1845 01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,800 corner of the arena. And, you know, I could take a 1846 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,680 volleyball because I could palm it, right. 1847 01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,640 And if I got a massive running job, but if my hamstring wasn't 1848 01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,240 sore, and it usually was, I could, you know, I could, I 1849 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,360 could squeak one down like it wasn't pretty. 1850 01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:19,520 It wasn't, it wasn't a hammer job. 1851 01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:23,680 It was just a enough to say, yeah, yeah, I could barely dunk 1852 01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:25,640 a volleyball. Tennis ball was pretty easy. 1853 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:29,360 No, never even came close to dunk like a real ball in the 1854 01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:31,800 way. But the clap, there were a 1855 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,800 couple of ways to do the clap. This was awesome. 1856 01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,920 Like if you're on the baseline and somebody gives you a pass 1857 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:40,360 and like the baselines open and you go up. 1858 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:41,000 So. Oh. 1859 01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:44,480 So you're going like I'm going sideways A. 1860 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,120 Little, yes, a little sideway. Yeah, a little. 1861 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:50,000 Sometimes if you had, if you felt good, a little sideways and 1862 01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,000 you're going, you're going this way. 1863 01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:54,200 I still haven't figured out that way. 1864 01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:55,280 Right. It just, and then the ball and 1865 01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,960 the ball's popping out and it's boom, boom off the backboard. 1866 01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:00,400 So you clap and then bang, boom. Oh, that's it. 1867 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,320 OK. But the better one was when you 1868 01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:07,040 had a fast break, because then you do it wouldn't actually be 1869 01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:10,080 like a finger roll, right? But it would be like a reverse 1870 01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:11,520 almost like you're going to finger roll. 1871 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:13,720 And as you, you, you clap the board. 1872 01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:16,800 Come on, old school, old school white guys who couldn't jump hit 1873 01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:18,480 me up on the jump. Come on, jump in. 1874 01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,200 You would clap and it would make a sweet noise and it just felt 1875 01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:22,920 so good. And then like you run down the 1876 01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,960 court like you have like a basketball jog, like cold or MJ. 1877 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:28,640 Oh geez, bitch. So the clap. 1878 01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:30,480 The clap was my dunk. It was. 1879 01:29:30,480 --> 01:29:32,760 That's too funny. What else we got? 1880 01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:34,400 Speaking of hoops, a little Final Four. 1881 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:40,560 Oh man. Yeah, yeah, Should be there. 1882 01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:42,760 I I think it's fitting that I'm wearing black today, although 1883 01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:44,280 this is my daughter's softball team. 1884 01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:45,320 How? How sweet is that? 1885 01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:46,640 Oh, that's a sick How do you eat? 1886 01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:48,040 That's nice, right? Yeah. 1887 01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:50,480 Shout out to the Lady Knights. Good little squad there. 1888 01:29:51,440 --> 01:29:53,880 I never really wear it. I'll wear it to every one of her 1889 01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:55,240 games. I don't wear it on the air 1890 01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,120 because I've got the black background, which I still have 1891 01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:58,640 to fix with the lights. I know I will. 1892 01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:00,760 I get it. But this is this is like 1893 01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,040 graffiti style, which is that's going up my alley. 1894 01:30:04,480 --> 01:30:06,960 But fitting that we're wearing black today because right now 1895 01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,760 and we're having a great show, having a blast Easter weekend, 1896 01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:10,920 going out to Dallas this weekend. 1897 01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:12,880 Can't wait. It's going to be really fun. 1898 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,400 But I should be in Indianapolis is where I should be. 1899 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,560 I should be in right now. I should be sitting in the team 1900 01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:24,800 hotel carving out a little space with my guy Mink doing a I'm 1901 01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:28,040 doing a preview, you know, doing a preview, getting ready for 1902 01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:29,800 Illinois because that's who UConn is playing. 1903 01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,840 And again, I don't even know. Like, you know, listen, they 1904 01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:36,280 should have won the Duke game. They should have will they have 1905 01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:38,720 beaten Duke UConn again? I don't know, but I'm just going 1906 01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:40,880 to make the assumption because it makes me feel better a little 1907 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:42,000 bit. I don't know. 1908 01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:45,160 I don't know, You know, if they were playing Illinois, would 1909 01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:47,400 they be favored? Would they be dogs as it depends 1910 01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,640 upon what the previous game in the elite able to look like? 1911 01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:51,640 I don't know, but we're not there. 1912 01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,880 Four teams are still a great season for Saint John's. 1913 01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:57,880 Now they got a crush, which they will the transfer portal. 1914 01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:01,040 So the first games, Illinois and Yukon, I'm not going to get into 1915 01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:02,560 like previewing the game. That's boring. 1916 01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:04,600 I want to give you one thing you want to want to look for, 1917 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:09,120 though. I I don't love AN849849. 1918 01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:11,480 Yeah, no. That's a weird tip time. 1919 01:31:11,480 --> 01:31:14,360 Like 8. 49 on the Saturday before Easter. 1920 01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,200 That's Give me 6, give me 5, give me 530. 1921 01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:22,320 Oh my God. Yes, so obviously you got a lot 1922 01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:23,920 of high seats here. Illinois is the three seat 1923 01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:26,360 Yukons to two, Michigan and Arizona, obviously both the 1924 01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:27,680 ones. But think about this. 1925 01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:29,760 If you're a young kid and I don't I don't mean two years 1926 01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:34,000 old, but if you're you know, 789 and you really love basketball, 1927 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,680 right and you want to watch this even if you're not an Arizona or 1928 01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:39,840 a Michigan fan, when they say 849 all right, it probably will 1929 01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:41,920 mean, although if the first game goes late, then you still have 1930 01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:44,920 to have the 30 minutes whatever. So it might not even be 849. 1931 01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:51,280 So it's 9:00 basically, and in however many hours the Easter 1932 01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:55,320 Bunny's coming, if you've been a good, good boy or girl, I mean, 1933 01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:58,720 that's just, it's too late, you know, I don't know, like I'm 1934 01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,160 thinking if this was Christmas Eve, you know, our kids are 1935 01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:03,320 getting a little bit older and we do the Santa tracker. 1936 01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:04,760 So they, you know, stay up a little bit later. 1937 01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:06,920 So good. But it's just not ideal, not 1938 01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:07,920 optimal. Anyway, I'm not going to 1939 01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:09,560 complain about it too much. It is what it is. 1940 01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:14,440 I here's what I will tell you. I think that there's at least, 1941 01:32:14,440 --> 01:32:16,240 and I was looking at some of these names, looking at the 1942 01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:19,160 rosters and and knowing the players here, I think there's at 1943 01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:22,600 least eight NBA players that you will watch Saturday. 1944 01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:26,840 So yeah, yeah, yeah. You got Waggler from Illinois, 1945 01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:30,880 right, Keith Waggler. You got Braden Burries from 1946 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:33,800 Arizona. You got Yaxel Lindenberg, 1947 01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:39,080 obviously from Michigan. 100%. You got Pete from Arizona Stud. 1948 01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:44,480 You've got Paris Reed from UConn, you've got Johnson from 1949 01:32:44,480 --> 01:32:47,880 Michigan, Caravan from UConn and Mullins from UConn. 1950 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:52,840 That's 12345678. Now I'm not saying all first 1951 01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:57,960 rounders, but Waggler Berries, Linderberg and Pete to me are 1952 01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:01,920 all first rounders. I wouldn't take Caravan in the 1953 01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:03,560 first round. I've seen them play a lot like 1954 01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:04,720 them. I wouldn't take them in the 1955 01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:06,360 first round. I might take, I might take 1956 01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:08,000 Mullins late in the. First round really. 1957 01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,480 OK, He's, he's got stones, as he said. 1958 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:13,360 He's got stones. He's also got maybe one of the 1959 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:16,280 pure shots in college basketball and he's a skinny freshman. 1960 01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:19,160 So imagine him, you know, that's that's what happens with a lot 1961 01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:22,480 of these draft picks. Like there's a good chance, I 1962 01:33:22,480 --> 01:33:25,640 think there's a very good chance that Mullins gets drafted before 1963 01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,080 Zubi Ejafour. Zubi Ejafour is a senior. 1964 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:30,320 He's a grown man. He was the biggest player of the 1965 01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:31,560 year. He was the Big East defensive 1966 01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:34,600 player of the year, you know, should have been all America. 1967 01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:37,160 I don't know how he wasn't, but all these accolades, right? 1968 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:39,120 St. John's 31 team, phenomenal 1969 01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,280 basketball player. I don't think he's going first 1970 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:42,320 round. I think he's going second and 1971 01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:45,440 probably more middle late second round because and he's going to 1972 01:33:45,440 --> 01:33:47,240 stick because he's going to be able to defend a lot of 1973 01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:49,680 positions and he's going to become a better shooter. 1974 01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:53,600 I think the mechanics, I think he's he's got enough mechanics 1975 01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:55,040 where I'm like, he's going to be a shooter. 1976 01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:57,480 I'm not, I'm not saying he's going to be Steph, but he's 1977 01:33:57,480 --> 01:34:00,560 going to be a big step out, hit some freeze and defend one 1978 01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:03,400 through 5 S. And he's a tireless worker and 1979 01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:05,920 he's a phenomenal high character young man. 1980 01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:07,200 So he's going to stick in the NBA. 1981 01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:08,720 But I don't think he's going first round. 1982 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:11,400 And think about the year that Zoopy had and think about the 1983 01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:13,920 year that Mullins had. I mean, it's not even congruent. 1984 01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:16,560 I mean, but think about who's going in the first round or 1985 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:19,840 who's going to get drafted first between it's going to be Mullins 1986 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,400 because it's about projectability. 1987 01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:25,080 He's what, 19 years old? He's a bag of bones at this 1988 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:28,000 point, you know, and, and if you're an NBA scout or if you're 1989 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,360 a team, you sitting there saying watching what you're watching 1990 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,000 Mullins saying, all right, what does he look like? 1991 01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,640 Is he like a toddler hero type? I don't, you know, I think hero 1992 01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:37,520 might be a bit of a better athlete in terms of getting to 1993 01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:38,960 the rim and slicing up and that stuff. 1994 01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:43,360 But because we saw that in college, but you put 12 to 15 1995 01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:45,840 functional pounds on somebody, maybe not 15. 1996 01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:49,760 That's a lot, but like 8 to 10 functional pounds on Mullins. 1997 01:34:50,480 --> 01:34:53,320 I mean and his range just stretches out further and I mean 1998 01:34:53,440 --> 01:34:55,200 he might be 1 of. The I don't know what it like. 1999 01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:58,600 I think of all these guys under the like the Baylor Mullins, the 2000 01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:01,640 Caravan, I don't know, maybe it's just like a white guy 2001 01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,000 thing. Like I see them all as like the 2002 01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:08,880 Ty Jerome, Sam Hauser, Baylor Tire. 2003 01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:12,240 Man Hauser from Marquette. From Did he play for Marquette? 2004 01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:13,960 You played for Virginia I. Know you know. 2005 01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:15,760 He transferred, He left. Marquette. 2006 01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:19,320 He's got a twin brother. Really, I need to OK, I need to 2007 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:21,320 tap in because I love Hauser. Hey, it. 2008 01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:23,960 Was a couple of years ago, obviously, I think that Hauser, 2009 01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,280 I know one went to Virginia because I remember talking to 2010 01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:28,680 Tiki about it when that happened because Tiki's a Virginia guy 2011 01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:31,040 and I, I thought the other one stated at. 2012 01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:33,640 I thought he stayed there. I remember doing St. 2013 01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:35,560 John's games against the Hauser boys. 2014 01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:38,200 Yeah. But yeah, it's funny how like 2015 01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:41,200 this, Virginia, this has become either way, like how this has 2016 01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:45,000 become just like an NBA archetype, just the white guy 2017 01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,880 shooter, just like the Jack Golke kind of deal. 2018 01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,400 I mean, I don't think he's making the NBA, but. 2019 01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:56,080 Yeah, well, I mean, let's face it. 2020 01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:58,960 I mean, you know. Stereoty Hauser. 2021 01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,200 Yep. Yeah, told Yeah, told you, 2022 01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:01,800 March. Hat. 2023 01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:05,520 Yep. So listen, there's always a few 2024 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:09,320 guys, you know, that, that that could jump like Rex Chapman, 2025 01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:10,800 back of the day, toddler hero's a good athlete. 2026 01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:13,680 There's others too, Like the stereotypes are brutal and and 2027 01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:16,240 they're dangerous flag. I don't mean this Cooper flag's 2028 01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:16,680 different. Yeah. 2029 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:17,840 Oh my. You know, it's different. 2030 01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:21,080 But the Yeah. I mean, if you're, if you're a 2031 01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:24,440 white American player and you can't shoot. 2032 01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:26,920 You're done. Yeah, you're not making the MPA. 2033 01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:29,280 Sorry to break it to you buddy, you know? 2034 01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,720 You got to be either like I mean 7 foot 3 Donovan. 2035 01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:34,880 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like and Donovan Klingon, 2036 01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,920 he's an anomaly. You don't see 72 white dudes 2037 01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,800 from CT. That's just not a, you know, 2038 01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:44,520 that's a once in a literally once in a human race 2039 01:36:44,520 --> 01:36:46,560 potentially. Yeah, although listen, Cooper 2040 01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:48,680 flag from Maine, where he's from Boston. 2041 01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:50,200 He's. From Maine. 2042 01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:51,520 You're right, you're right. He's from Maine. 2043 01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:53,720 He's a South, he's a Boston, I guess. 2044 01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:56,760 New England. I mean, I, I don't, and I'm not 2045 01:36:56,760 --> 01:36:59,480 trying to disparage it. I don't, I don't think that 2046 01:36:59,480 --> 01:37:02,360 Maine basketball's that good. You know, compared to like New 2047 01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:05,560 York and Baltimore and DC and Philly and, and Compton and 2048 01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,400 other places out West, Southern California, Tech, Texas are 2049 01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:11,480 very, Dallas is very strong. What was this guy doing to these 2050 01:37:11,480 --> 01:37:13,040 poor kids in Maine in high school? 2051 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:21,040 And you're like 5 foot 6 and you're and you're just good 2052 01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:23,440 luck. No, I, I think Maine, what they 2053 01:37:23,440 --> 01:37:27,320 do have some of these like New Hampshire and Maine, they have, 2054 01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:31,160 yeah, exactly like they have like the Exeter kind of school. 2055 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:34,240 They do. Well, I went to one. 2056 01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:38,600 I I went to not as a student. I went to, you know, I told you 2057 01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:41,000 the story about when, when I went to Bernard Kings basketball 2058 01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:42,080 camp the other day. Remember that? 2059 01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:45,240 OK, Well, I also went to another one and it was called, this may 2060 01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:46,600 have been the first one that I ever went to. 2061 01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:49,240 And it was I loved it, dude. It was called Central 2062 01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:50,600 Connecticut. Wait, hold on. 2063 01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:52,320 It was at CCSU. No, no. 2064 01:37:52,440 --> 01:37:54,400 No, no, my bad. The Connecticut School of 2065 01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,600 Basketball, not Central. I got the the Connecticut School 2066 01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:00,760 of Basketball and I probably went there about three years in 2067 01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:03,120 a row. And Nick Mccartick, you won't 2068 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:04,200 know this name. You're too young. 2069 01:38:04,480 --> 01:38:07,960 Nick at this point was the head coach at Fordham when Fordham 2070 01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:10,880 basketball was pretty good. Sure, they were pretty good, 2071 01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:14,280 man. And me and my buddy Pat, Pat 2072 01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:18,840 Nashwin, a couple of other kids went from like CYO from 2073 01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:21,440 Brooklyn. And, and it was at Saint Thomas 2074 01:38:21,440 --> 01:38:25,280 Moore Prep School, which is up in Connecticut. 2075 01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:28,280 It was prep school. So I, and it was a nice campus 2076 01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:30,280 and Oh my God, it was good basketball. 2077 01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:31,520 I had some really good counselors. 2078 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:34,240 That was the best dude. Saint Thomas Moore, Nick 2079 01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:36,560 Mccartick. And then Nick's son, Nick the 2080 01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,080 third wound up becoming an assistant. 2081 01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,240 I haven't talked to him in a long time at Marist. 2082 01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:43,600 He was there for a year when I was at Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2083 01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,720 Great family, great love the McCarthy. 2084 01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:49,320 I mean, I haven't seen them in forever, but great basketball 2085 01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:50,080 royalty. Really. 2086 01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:52,760 That's how much I I think that then I think Nick went on to 2087 01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:56,320 become the, if I'm not mistaken, the athletic director at Stony 2088 01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:57,680 Brook. I'm pretty sure that was the 2089 01:38:57,680 --> 01:38:59,760 case. Hey, before I go think about 2090 01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:05,480 this, pop this up. Just Google past final four 2091 01:39:05,480 --> 01:39:07,440 sites. I want. 2092 01:39:07,440 --> 01:39:09,960 I haven't been in like a year in in a couple of years. 2093 01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:13,960 I think the first one that I went to was an O4 in Saint Louis 2094 01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:15,800 or O5. What are those two? 2095 01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:18,520 Carolina, Michigan State, Illinois. 2096 01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:23,880 Billy Self was at Illinois. Give me the where was the I want 2097 01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:27,120 to go from O 4 till about 2010. Or. 2098 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:30,320 Maybe even one or two. Wikipedia does their list in 2099 01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:35,080 such a strange way where they show each of the ones here. 2100 01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:37,480 Let me throw it up in order. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 2101 01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,680 See. Indianapolis is a really good 2102 01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:44,760 city for the Final Four. It's very easy to get around. 2103 01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,720 I know we did one in Houston at where the Texans play. 2104 01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:52,960 I know we went to Detroit one year. 2105 01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:54,840 They played at a Ford Field which was great. 2106 01:39:58,040 --> 01:39:59,800 Come on, this shouldn't take 2. Come on, come on, come on. 2107 01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:00,680 One SEC. One SEC. 2108 01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:05,120 My the issue is my computer with the stream yard just runs. 2109 01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:06,680 The site's getting a. Little slower? 2110 01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:11,720 Give me 15 seconds. What was your favorite? 2111 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:14,240 What was your favorite Final Four location? 2112 01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,280 My favorite one. Where did I have the best time? 2113 01:40:19,480 --> 01:40:22,200 Let's see, did I? Go to one in Arizona or is that 2114 01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:26,200 the Super Bowl or both? My favorite one, I went to 2115 01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:28,840 Indianapolis a couple of times. I don't really know which, maybe 2116 01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:32,640 maybe Michigan, because I had worked in Detroit for two years 2117 01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:35,600 early in my career and I knew a lot of people and Ford Field was 2118 01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,480 great. And Greektown, go ahead, hit me 2119 01:40:38,480 --> 01:40:40,040 up. So, all right, 04. 2120 01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:44,320 Saint Louis, so San Antonio, TX. I've been there as well. 2121 01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:45,560 The Riverwalk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2122 01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,120 That was good. Was that 04? 2123 01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:50,960 O4 Yep, San Antonio. OK, but that wasn't the first 2124 01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:52,400 one. O 5 was Saint Louis. 2125 01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:54,560 O 5 was Saint Louis. That was the first one that I 2126 01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:56,040 went to. Then where'd we go, Indy? 2127 01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:57,760 Indeed. Yep, Yep, you got it. 2128 01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:01,200 OK, then Atlanta? I don't remember Atlanta. 2129 01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:04,360 I didn't go. Away or O seven, O 7. 2130 01:41:04,440 --> 01:41:06,760 I I got sick. I did not go to Atlanta. 2131 01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:10,280 Go ahead. O 8 was back in San Antonio. 2132 01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:11,520 That was fun. I actually had dinner with 2133 01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:12,680 Jerry. Jerry Ferrara. 2134 01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:13,920 I was. Telling you. 2135 01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:17,080 We were having margaritas on the Riverwalk with my guy Turtle 2136 01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:20,520 well. 09 Detroit. That was great. 2137 01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:22,600 I think the next one was probably Houston, right? 2138 01:41:23,440 --> 01:41:27,960 It back in Indy and then and then Houston and 11:00 and. 2139 01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,680 What about 2012? Where'd we go there? 2140 01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,320 Nawlins. Did we go to that one? 2141 01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:37,600 No, I went to the Super Bowl in New Orleans. 2142 01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:39,160 And then what was the one after that? 2143 01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:40,480 Atlanta. No. 2144 01:41:40,480 --> 01:41:42,320 Then I stopped. Then Teque and I stopped going 2145 01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:44,560 then, and the economics started changing. 2146 01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:46,520 Then the budget got a little tighter and they stopped into 2147 01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:48,520 this. We went for good. 2148 01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:50,480 Me and Teque went for a good 7-8 years. 2149 01:41:50,480 --> 01:41:51,320 We had a blast. Wow. 2150 01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:52,480 Yeah. A lot of fun. 2151 01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:55,480 A lot of fun. All right, buddy, what time we 2152 01:41:55,480 --> 01:41:57,720 got here? What's about wrapping up? 2153 01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,480 Give you a little final five. Listen, I may as well give you a 2154 01:41:59,480 --> 01:42:06,280 prediction on the Final Four. I think Illinois is going to 2155 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,960 beat UConn. Really. 2156 01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:09,920 I do. I do. 2157 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:11,840 I think Illinois is going to win that game. 2158 01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:14,040 I almost arrived. Well, I really hesitate to say 2159 01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:16,760 it because Danny Hurley is a killer, but I'm going to save 2160 01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:18,400 the align. I'm actually rooting for U Conn 2161 01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:19,800 Keep it in the Big East a little bit. 2162 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:22,640 But I'm going to say Illinois is going to play. 2163 01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:25,560 I know most people think it's Michigan. 2164 01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:27,560 I'm going Arizona. I think it's going to be Arizona 2165 01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:28,400 and Arizona. Yeah. 2166 01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:30,840 And then I think if they get to Monday, if it's Arizona, 2167 01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:32,840 Illinois, I think your Arizona will crank them out. 2168 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,320 I think Arizona, Arizona is. A They have a dominant presence. 2169 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:40,880 I know this season, I know also I met, I met, not met. 2170 01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:44,240 I spoke with Tommy Lloyd for like a second a couple months 2171 01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:45,280 ago and so. Did you? 2172 01:42:45,720 --> 01:42:47,520 He was on, he was on a podcast I did. 2173 01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:50,760 So I was like, you know what, I'll ride with my guy right 2174 01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:52,320 there. Hey, Speaking of talking with 2175 01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:55,120 people, any correspondence? I know you did your job. 2176 01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,920 Have we heard from Jake the Snake's camp or have not? 2177 01:42:58,200 --> 01:42:59,720 No. Jim Duggan's camp. 2178 01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:03,480 Yet have not. So today, maybe it's time to to 2179 01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:07,360 bring another approach, shoot another arrow, and maybe this 2180 01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,000 time we take it Twitter, we take it to the Twitter. 2181 01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:14,040 And then after that we might have to cut a wrestling promo or 2182 01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:16,200 something.

You know, he could be 4 for I I 2254 01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:06,960 not nervous like I do feel like when when my son and my daughter 2255 01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:09,840 are going up to up to hit, that's different that that's 2256 01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,160 just being a dad. But never get nervous coaching 2257 01:46:12,160 --> 01:46:15,160 the game ever get excited. Not we have a game tonight, by 2258 01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:16,560 the way, under the lights on the turf. 2259 01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:20,400 I can't wait. So never nervous with that. 2260 01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:23,720 I IA little bit with the motivational speak even before I 2261 01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,080 I fire up the show. It's not nervousness, it's an 2262 01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:28,360 energy. Trust me, I'm the producer. 2263 01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:30,040 I feel a similar. Thing, you know what I mean? 2264 01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:33,440 It's the, it's the energy that you got to rein in and it's the 2265 01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,240 and then, you know, again, channel and and distribute it 2266 01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:39,360 the right way. And I think when you do that, 2267 01:46:39,440 --> 01:46:41,480 you know, it's, it's going to be an asset, It's going to be a 2268 01:46:41,480 --> 01:46:43,320 tool. If you if you don't feel that, 2269 01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:45,120 you probably don't give a shit what you doing. 2270 01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:47,520 I mean, it's really that simple. No, no way. 2271 01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:50,280 I and I think it, you know, it has a lot to do with the fact 2272 01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:53,160 that there's an audience. There's an audience who you have 2273 01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:55,800 to come through for. Of course, even they said that. 2274 01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:58,600 Of course, you know the other thing too. 2275 01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:02,840 And man, I really hope that at some point in my life I get here 2276 01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:06,080 and I'm playing golf on Wednesday, I'm playing golf on 2277 01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:07,120 Wednesday. Oh, let's. 2278 01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:12,320 Go first round of the year. Oh boy, I I get nervous before I 2279 01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:15,280 go to play golf. Really. 2280 01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:19,440 Yeah, it's ridiculous, man. And I know what it's rooted in. 2281 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,040 It's rooted in fear. Just to be totally transparent 2282 01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:26,360 and embarrassing myself. It's that's all. 2283 01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,800 It's not like, it's not like I'm going out there and I'm nervous 2284 01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:32,920 where I'm like, oh God, you know, I I got to break 90 or I 2285 01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:35,320 got to break 100 or, you know, back in the day, you know, when 2286 01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:38,640 I was actually playing, OK, like, can I get below 85 today? 2287 01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:40,760 Which would happen if it was not that much, but it did happen a 2288 01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:42,600 few times, right? It's not even about a 2289 01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,840 performance anxiety in terms of hitting a certain number, 2290 01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:48,800 winning because we don't play for money, you know, here and 2291 01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:51,560 there once the trial side, something very rare. 2292 01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:57,680 But it's truly me being very aware, especially that I'm 2293 01:47:57,680 --> 01:48:00,080 playing righty now and I'm a natural lefty and I know my 2294 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:03,440 swing looks awful and it just takes one person to recognize 2295 01:48:03,440 --> 01:48:04,680 you. Like dude, I mean this is. 2296 01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:06,880 Just crazy. Like, isn't that crazy? 2297 01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:11,160 No, I mean, it's it's tough, I guess, being a public figure, 2298 01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:14,080 like a, you know, a partial public figure in that sense 2299 01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:17,320 where it's like, you know, I got to be on my game. 2300 01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:21,640 Like I can't have like a even like a a mess up that obviously 2301 01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:26,600 has no like moral consequence or nothing like but just shows me 2302 01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:28,640 as like, oh, maybe I'm not the best golf player. 2303 01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:30,960 Maybe. No, there's nothing to debate 2304 01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:32,920 about that. And, and it's not even, it's not 2305 01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:37,560 even like it's not even I, I promise you, it's not like, oh 2306 01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:41,360 man, oh so and so just recognized me on the T or on the 2307 01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:44,160 practice range, you know, let me show them up. 2308 01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:46,000 But no, it's not like it's not even about that. 2309 01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,800 It's just about, it's not about trying to look great or show 2310 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,280 off, which I can never show off in golf because I'm terrible. 2311 01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:56,560 It's about not looking just inept like it's it's really that 2312 01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:59,360 that's how low the floor is. Like I have take now. 2313 01:48:59,360 --> 01:49:02,840 I've also smashed even righty. I've I've connected, you know, 2314 01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:06,400 I've had some good shots for sure, and I chip and I put 2315 01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:07,480 lefty. So around the green. 2316 01:49:07,480 --> 01:49:10,040 I'm still pretty confident, but I mean I've peppered some ball. 2317 01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:13,880 I've hit hybrids 2:30 I've hit five irons, you know, 195 from 2318 01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,320 like when I when I pure it, I could, I could get it, but I've 2319 01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:22,080 also no bullshit, no hyperbole. I have actually swung and missed 2320 01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:26,000 on occasion, swung and missed because I'm so in my head with 2321 01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,440 my grip. This new righty swing like in my 2322 01:49:28,480 --> 01:49:31,680 own head, like being so mechanical that I've actually 2323 01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:35,480 swung and missed not on the range on the fairway or wherever 2324 01:49:35,480 --> 01:49:38,920 I am or actually I've actually, this has happened to me a few 2325 01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:41,040 times. I don't know how this happens, 2326 01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:43,880 but it's actually happened more than once. 2327 01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:45,880 There have been two things have happened. 2328 01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:51,240 There have been times on the tee box where I might give it. 2329 01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:53,840 Yeah, not supposed to get. I mean, I'm not talking about 2330 01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:58,160 par three with A5 iron in my hand, some out a par 4 or par 2331 01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:02,360 five with the driver in my hand where my divot has gone further 2332 01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:05,200 than the ball. Oh man, that's one. 2333 01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:12,320 I have also somehow managed to defy physics at the highest 2334 01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:15,440 level. I swear to God that this has 2335 01:50:15,440 --> 01:50:20,880 happened more than once. Vicious swing off the tee, the 2336 01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:24,800 ball winds up behind me. Oh, trust me, I've been there. 2337 01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:26,160 You.
